Nostalgia can put you into a state of sleep where you're like, oh man, I just remember my party days. However, in reality, you find yourself empty, alone, having the same problems that you had the night before. They're there, and in fact, they're worse now because you made certain decisions, you did certain things because you were under the influence.
