Seems that you are defining 'nostalgia' as a bad thing, if it is something you have to "deal with."

You know it doesn't have to be?

Recalling good times, good memories, does not have to be juxtaposed against whatever situation you are in today that is perceived to be less wonderful... you can just enjoy the memory... enjoy the feeling of being back in that time ... and then let it go.

Then come back to the present, and be present, rather than comparing uncomparable things, like who you were back then with who you are now.
