One thing about nostalgia is that it doesn't just trigger a simple memory of a happier time. The memory brings back with it how you felt, all of the emotions, sometimes even the sounds and smells of the past. It can make you feel the original happiness or contentment or safety all over again. All of that is stored in our brains. Nostalgia frees the memory and experience for us so we can enjoy it all over again. Nice post @dragonslayer.
