The past is still around, you just gotta go find it. Go see your siblings, sit outside in the morning on a day off. Do something that makes you feel childlike bro. Go run around. The child in you only grows up when you let it homie. Also remember that this will be the past someday. Find something now that will make you feel this way then.
It’s very hard when we lose the things we love, and I’m sorry about your dogs. I would also never suggest “replacing” them because that belittles what they were to you, however, sometimes new pets or even plants can form new relationships that warm the heart though! Just because that thing you loved isn’t around anymore doesn’t mean you can’t find love in other similar things. Good luck my friend and I hope you get those feelings back!
