It depends. There are some things that I can be reminiscent about but never revisit, like memories of time spent with family and such. Other things are much easier to visit, whether it's watching people on YouTube talk about and play video games I used to love, reading articles about old technology and toys and such, rewatching movies and TV shows, rereading old books, etc. One of the nicer things the internet has brought us is the ability to revisit moments of our past.

Oddly enough, I used to really enjoy antiquing, and while my time and money and attention is spent elsewhere these days, I loved how it gave me a sense of nostalgia for a time I wasn't even alive to experience myself.
