It is quite a powerful thing to go back in time 10, 20 years and to realise how much you've grown as a person. And yes, places change their symbolism because we change. Going through a divorce and a failed business must have felt horrible, but look at you now writing about it here and being at peace with it. The passing of time can make us nostalgic, but I would be cautious with nostalgia. We must also keep nostalgia deeply rooted in realism and not romanticise due to passing of time. I like the photo with the leaf, it might be a metaphor for us as people, going through the seasons of life and accepting changes.
