I don't think nostalgia has to be negative.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Nostalgia is not what it used to be.
I went through a phase where I thought nostalgia was a bad thing.
Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
When I say I hate nostalgia, I hate things set in the recent past where everything is shiny and new.
Nostalgia is a powerful feeling; it can drown out anything.
I don't like nostalgia unless it's mine.
I don't have a great nostalgia for the past.
Nostalgia is something we think of as fuzzy. But it's pain. Pain concerning the past.
I don't think nostalgia is a healthy modality. But nostalgia and a sense of history are not the same thing. Nostalgia is a dysfunction of the historical impulse, or a corruption of the historical impulse.
I've become convinced that nostalgia is a fundamentally unhealthy modality. When you see it, it's usually attached to something else that's really, seriously bad. I don't traffic in nostalgia. We're becoming a global culture.
