Episode Description: Is pining for the past interfering with the present and creating an expectation that can’t be fulfilled in your relationship? Amiira and Greg are joined by producer Land and Photographer Church to roundtable the effect of nostalgia on your romantic relationship. How remembering the past, being overly attached to that younger version of yourself can be a toxic comparative force that wrecks your present and threatens your future. Trying to recreate a time or feeling with elements that no longer exist do to time, circumstance and personal evolution can leave you feeling dissatisfied and resentful that you can’t go back to the newness or effortlessness that once existed in simpler times. We traipse through the nostalgia for a time where anticipation existed for all the big “Firsts” or milestones and stumble onto the realization that we mourn the period of our lives when we were mostly looking forward because most of your life still laid ahead.  It’s deep, it’s funny and it’s real. Enjoy!
