SuicideFuel Nostalgia is a powerful, yet dangerous emotion

[UglyBaldingManlet]

Many of you will find me downright weird, if not pitiful for this. During the summer months I'll occasionally take a few loads of dirty laundry, drive 25 minutes out of my way and wash my clothes at a few tiny laundromats that me and my family used to frequent when I was growing up.
Thing is... I have a washer and dryer in my apartment, so it's completely unnecessary. I only go for the childhood memories-the nostalgia. The few moments when I can just close my eyes and the sounds of the washing machines and dryers, the smell of the cheap powdered soap, the sound of those massive fans running at full speed... it transports me back to my childhood and teen years.

I remember the sweltering summer months being in those laundromats. me and my sister running around trying to staving off boredom, and begging my mother for a few quarters to play Donkey Kong or Super Mario Bros arcade cabinets the owner had inside. Good times, even though we were quite poor growing up.

nostalgia make me think of a scene in The Shawshank Redemption where one of the main character is talking to the painter, and he is saying that hope or something like that is a very dangerous thing, and when he was prevented from making paintings because he criticized the director of the jail, he cut his hand, for me nostalgia is the same thing as hope, it's important, but it can be harmful

You mixed up two different movies. The scene you're talking about is from "Escape from Alcatraz" from 1979, starring Clint Eastwood. And, yes that scene was brutal.

The "hope is a dangerous thing" is a quote from Shawshank Redemption.
