Episode 3614: Chris Guillebeau unpacks why we often romanticize the past and chase “glory days” that never truly existed the way we remember them. By questioning nostalgia and emphasizing the present, he invites readers to create meaningful experiences today rather than dwell in filtered memories. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://chrisguillebeau.com/glory-days/ Quotes to ponder: "Sometimes we long for a version of the past that didn’t actually happen, at least not in the way we remember it." "The best days of your life don’t have to be behind you. They can be right now, or just ahead." "Memory is faulty, and nostalgia can be deceptive."
