Nostalgia is to memories as romantic love is to a partner. The essence of the most favorable constituents, distilled into a succinct package of positive recollection; along with the erasure of any negative aspects. A little respite to retreat to when the reality of the world grows too heavy. Perhaps the capacity for nostalgia is an evolutionary adaptation to carry humans through dark patches of life; stoking, the sometimes faint, embers of hope.Created using an image generated with Midjourney V6, animated with Runway gen2.Audio sampled from the public domain archive at the library of congress, song: "I Love Piano"Sound design by Kentskooking
