About this listen

'Do you ever wonder if the best days are behind you?'

Daniel Adelman had it all - friends, sports and holidays with family. Now everyone seems to be busy with marriage, work or have moved abroad, leaving him feeling lonely and ruminating on a better past. As he takes steps to spice up his monotonous routine, the 26-year-old Londoner questions whether his dwelling on the past is appropriate, or healthy, but the delight of revisiting memories proves ever-alluring in an unpredictable world.
