It's good to put your thoughts out somewhere where unbiased people can look at them.

How about this
When thinking about something with a sense of nostalgia, do you remember it happy so you can remember it with love and good thoughts in your mind? Or do you see it as happy times past that are now gone and therefore something to be sad about?

The second makes no sense. How are you supposed to go through life with any amount of new happiness if all you see is how sad it is that the old happiness is gone?

Live it up, have so many happy times that you can look back at older happiness and be glad that you had that experience; so that you can look ahead in anticipation or live for the present.

What’s the use in sulking in your own despair, for the same applies to unhappiness. Don’t dwell on it, just get past it. Learn from it. Make it into a happy time. Be optimistic, because lord knows the Earth is sick of pessimists.
