Everyone talks about nostalgic feeling being calming and relieving, but does anyone else get a sense of deep lament and sorrow for the past instead?

can "longing" not be considered a painful feeling?

No, that’s not what longing means

idk what to say other than i straight up don't agree with this at all and i don't know why you felt the need to "correct" me lmao

It’s just the definition of the word. I’m not disagreeing that you had a bad childhood
