c. To bluntly reject the promising embrace of nostalgia and yield to the present moment; enveloped in an intoxicating joy, togetherness, and health surrounding all things and beings to be loved by, and to love.

**Because life is all too short**
"I don't want to listen back to recordings of my time with my family and friends with nostalgia. I want *presentalgia*-- to feel that very same feeling while it's still there, together, happy and healthy." ~S.B.K.
