What Is The Nostalgia Effect?

Nostalgia is like a special kind of memory that feels warm and happy. It's when you remember things from the past, like playing with your favorite toy or being with family during holidays. When you think about those times, it makes you feel calm and safe inside. The nostalgia effect happens because remembering the past gives you comfort, especially when things are hard in the present. Think of it as a hug from your memories!
