Hi, I am new here and thought I would open up a discussion to get to know people. My question is what is your decade? Or decades that you feel the most connected to, and why? When did it start? Do you have any explanations?

See me, I don't. I don’t have any "logical" explanation to why I feel like I don’t belong in this time period. I feel I was ripped from the 60's and plopped here in the present. I long and feel nostalgic for everything before 1970. ok 74 at the latest. My "home" decade is the 1960's, but I also am connected to the 20’ s-50 as well. The 70's are weird, sometimes i feel nostalgic sometimes I feel weird about it. I don’t know how to explain it. My parents have no idea why. They just tell me it’s an interest. Art is an interest; UFO’s are an interest, feeling nostalgic for a time i never lived in, that’s not an interest. Do any of you also have those longing feelings of the good ole days? I always get funny looks when i say "ahh this song brings me back" (referring to an oldies song) or something of that nature. I don’t really know why it started I just know it started somewhere around 3rd or 4th grade, or that’s when i realized my love for the 60's. But it didn’t really develop completely until 6th grade, and just grew from there.
   
The only explanation that makes sense to me is..reincarnation. Have any of you ever thought that perhaps you lived during the decade you feel so connected to?(well i think we carry with us the time period we were young adults with us to our next life) the same way an 80 year old would feel nostalgic for the time of their youth, just we are in a new life with the same feelings. a past lives forum I am actively a part of has many "retros" but they know about their past lives. I find this interesting how many people who don’t necessarily believe in reincarnation have the same feelings.

Throughout my life I have had memories and such that are not from this life, but most I just ignored at the beginning. But I still believed in reincarnation just in a sort of passing manner. It wasn’t until experiencing my first regression about 2 years ago that reincarnation became a large part of my life. I set out to regress to my life in the 60's, thinking of course that’s what I will go back to. a cool life, as a hippy, in California or something. But what I actually regressed to was something very different and not at all what I expected. I will give a short summary of the life I regressed to, of which I discovered facts and events over the course of the past 2 years. And I still haven’t regressed further than 1948. to my shock I was a woman! Took me some time to get over that.

I was born a in or around 1909, in a small town outside Pittsburgh PA*. My father died, or left before I was born, as I have no memory of him. My mother raised me alone. my grandparents lived with us for a time. I left home in 1926 as a teenager and headed to Pittsburgh. The next few years were probably the best of my life, I drank, I partied, I slept around. I am not sure whom I lived with in 1926-28,as I rarely regress to this time besides the occasional happy memories. (perhaps because that part of my life didn’t cause a lot of my pain, it was the later part of my life that did). I married a man named Charles c. 1929. I became pregnant soon after. I began an affair with another man named Richard soon after, or before my marriage to Charles. I had a daughter early 1930. I wasn’t close to her until later, at least 5 years. I continued the affair with Richard among others, although I feel I really loved Richard and wanted to be with him. I eventually lost contact with him in the 1940’s. Charles became an alcoholic and began to physically and on at least one occasion sexually abused me (I feel he emotionally abused me from early in our relationship). I feel I also was a drinker, and medication abuser.  I became ill in 1947-48 and was hospitalized. I think I was in and out until 1948-49 when I eventually died. I never found out many details of my death, I just know I was very sad and alone at the end, but I was ready.

Sorry for rambling on and on and I hope no one will take offense at my post, or judge me. (Sorry i really haven’t tested the waters so much, I just jumped right in, so im not sure of peoples reaction) I just will find it difficult to be discussing past decades and vintage things in general without me bringing up my past lives, so i wanted to see what everyone here thinks about the subject.

peace and love
