I think your idea here is really interesting; I think you capture the idea of time passing very well. Judging the worth of an entire time period can be near impossible; especially when you have both the memories of the age's feeling in combination with the hindsight you have months afterward. This may be too personal, but is this general malcontent with a time or a time wasted on a person?

Interesting, very interesting. I like it.

huh. this is really interesting. i love how you didn't say much, well no thats sounds rude, and i mean it as a compliment, but how what you say could mean everything or nothing. thats what i ment. favorite verse:
"And what you’ve learned in those six months is of no value
Until you find yourself grasping at a memory
Longing for empty vessels of the past"

i loved it!
