you're supposed to let go of the past, not endlessly replay it in some in some nostalgic fever dream...

  You can let go and still like to look at it? Otherwise would you say the same thing about cameras?

    well since you asked, yes never been a fan of keeping much pictures or memories from the distant past. It's about living in the present, those moments are gone, you already experienced them, no reason to cling to it, just let it go, forever. We'll be all dead soon anyway and none of your childhood memories will matter in the slightest, circling around the past only burdens you unnecessarily. You'd be better off to just always look forward and never look back.

      I like having a window into the distant past because it's interesting. I don't see how that could be a bad thing. Sure, we should live in the present, but doing so isn't necessarily at odds with looking back. In fact, even if you're focusing on looking forward, you still need to consider the past and learn from it.
