40+ Things to Unlock Your Nostalgia Gateway and Take You on a Wild Journey of Despair

Nostalgia is a double-edged sword of bliss and despair. When we put on our rose-tinted glasses and suspend our thoughts out into the blissfully distant realm of the past we're managing to escape and dissociate from whatever reality we are currently facing. But the thing you have to remember is that none of that is real. The past that you're remembering is only a slideshow of the best parts of the best and most memorable moments of your life and the world as it was at that time. It's a strange distortion of reality as it was, akin to that of something like an Instagram model's or travel blogger's story reel. You're not seeing all of the terrible, unedited, and unfiltered moments that went into making those highlights. So, not only is the reality you're suspending yourself into not real but when you're done doing the nostalgia equivalent of a TikTok death scroll you need to face your life again un edited and without filters. And that can only result in despair.

Since we've addressed how dangerous nostalgia can be… Here's a heavy dose of it. Enjoy these 40+ items that will take you on a trip of nostalgic bliss.
