Why Do People Feel Nostalgic for Times They Once Took for Granted?

[Lolita]

Moments that felt ordinary at the time often become meaningful later. People miss phases of life they barely noticed while living them. Why does that shift happen? What period of your life do you look back on differently now?

That's human nature for you, we tend to easily Value what we no longer have access to, hence when we think back on certain areas of our lives we feel this way. For me it was when i was in school, and during my service year.
