This exactly. The past may have been hard but we know we made it through, that makes it so much more palatable to 'frame' in our minds eye.
Right now is a different matter, how things will pan out is uncertain, and for many of us uncertainty is anxiety making.
I think it's why nostalgia is so comforting, it's safe, the outcomes are known.
