Nostalgia is not a mood: it's a gateway to other emotions. "Aw, I remember this... and then you beat me. Now I have to pack it. Yeah, this job just called for whiskey."

Are you happy to see an evil place be decamped? Are you annoyed that you have to pack a place you haven't inhabited for a long time and thus are temporarily under your parents' thumb? (Why yes, I am working with my therapist about issues with my parents and my dread fear of my home town. I'm 39 and haven't lived there since I was 24.)

I'll just hope none of these are relevant to you. If they are, drink like Grandpa Rick. Semi-violent breakup songs ahoy!
