Being nostalgic is to be enthusiastic about a reunion with places or things.
…..
Nostalgia is a combination of the greek words nostos (return home) and algos (pain).
it is used to yearn for something lost, missing or just old days.
…..
Earlier in the “good old days” it was a diagnosed disease
for example many soldiers from the american civil war were labeled “Nostalgia”
the world didn’t know about the term “post-traumatic stress disorder” at that time.

What a great photo of the mountains. I had no idea nostalgia was once considered a medical condition. How strange.
