"懐かしい (Natsukashii) is a Japanese word used when something evokes a fond memory from your past. For instance, when you hear a song you loved as a teenager, or when you come across an old train ticket stub in your pocket. In Japan, 懐かしい is a reminder that you are fortunate to have had the experiences you’ve had in life. The fact that you cannot return to those experiences makes them all the more poignant."
