"You are who you are by what you learn and what you remember" Examining the two types of memory short term vs long term low stimulus vs sensitized you learn that long terms do more than stick with you they change you. https://pca-global.com/benefits-of-nostalgia/Nostalgia is a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past typically for a period or place with happy personal associations.  When people speak wistfully of the past they typically become more optimistic and inspired about the future. https://www.harleytherapy.co.uk/counselling/nostalgia-good-or-bad.htm#:~:text=We%20miss%20and%20long%20for,to%20learn%20from%20our%20reminiscing.If nostalgia is random and unconscious it can be negative and we must be aware of the difference between nostalgic memories and unhealthy thoughts that actually lead to mental health issues.Like most things in life, moderation is best when nostalgia is used to ground us and motivate us it's a useful tool but we must not let it overwhelm us and defeat us as we find ourselves in the never-ending self-assessing perfection quest. 

Have you ever wondered what makes you uniquely you? Maybe you think about your heritage, your temperament, your gifts and abilities.

Matt Pohlson had an eye-opening experience after he and his business school buddy, Ryan Cummins, attended a charity auction where they hoped to bid on their dream experience: the chance to play basketball with Magic Johnson. As broke grad students, they were quickly outbid. That’s when they realized there might be a better way to raise money for charity, and a way to make amazing experiences accessible to anyone with $10 and a dream. They barely had more than that when they turned their passion into the online charity platform Omaze. Sponsored by Ally Financial.
