There's been a concept on my mind of late that lacks for proper verbiage and trawling through thesauri seems less than savory. Better to discuss the idea and see what comes of it, if anything.
Looking back on the past fondly is called nostalgia while looking forward is anticipation. What would you call looking off sides? For reference, I've lived a lot of places and sometimes wonder how they're doing in the present, rather than what it was like living there way back when. My interests steer me into the present-progressive just about always, so what might I call a fond sense of wonder about what is or may be going on somewhere removed from my own personal experience?
Also, feel free to ask your own such questions as they arise.
