@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... One definition of nostalgia that seemed particularly interesting was that it's grieving for the lost possibilities that existed in a past moment.

That is, it's not so much remembering what it felt like at a moment in childhood, as remembering being in that moment and having paths open that are now closed to you.

And it makes sense that would be a keener feeling as a teen or young adult, going through rapid changes and making decisions that will shape your life, when later in life things tend to stabilize, for better or worse.
