Context: I long for the good old days, when I was carefree and happy. The sun always shone, I had cash in my pocket and plenty of time for the things I love to do.
Speaker 1: Years ago I used to have such a good time. I had money to spend, time to do the things I love. How I long for those times again!
Speaker 2: I know exactly how you feel, I've been slipping back into paycheck to paycheck living recently. It was so much better when I had the money to pay for everything.
Speaker 1: Didn't the sun always shine back then, when we were happy and young and had money?!
Speaker 2: Hahaha yes, you are so right. Then again, I'm a Christian so I am also comforted when I remember that we have a real, more important and awesome life to look forward to one day.
Speaker 1: That's true. I still like to look fondly upon the past, but the future will be bright, too.
