“Nostalgia is a file that removes the rough edges from the good old days.” - Doug Larson
“True nostalgia is an ephemeral composition of disjointed memories.” - Florence King
When we think about nostalgia, it's very common to focus primarily on the object of that nostalgia rather than the source of the feeling itself. Too often are people confused about why they feel nostalgic for a particular thing or item, when really the context of that thing is what matters most.
Nostalgia can be a wonderful indulgence on fond memories or a therapeutic remembrance of where we've come from, but it can also send you down a dark, unhealthy and obsessive path.
