Nostalgia
Longing for the past or for people and places that are no longer here.
What the Bible can tell you
Don't say, "Why were the former days better than these?" For you do not ask wisely about this.
Ecclesiastes 7:10
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down. Yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
Psalms 137:1
"Don't remember the former things, and don't consider the things of old.
Isaiah 43:18
A human reading
Nostalgia shows how much you value what you lived. You do not have to live trapped in it. You can remember with affection and keep building the present.
