Nostalgia is so powerful that you get sucked into it and basically add onto the past every time you revisit the memory. Realistically, the memory isn't important anymore, but you put more and more stock into it the more you go back.
So enjoyable events become life defining ones.
Traumatic events become oddly nostalgic too.
Idk, just seems kind of bullshit to me. Why the fuck does this one specific emotion have so much power?
I think it's because nostalgia takes our emotions and combines them with our memories. The emotions shape the memories to make you more nostalgic about that period more. It's like a drug.
