Summary

This quote suggests that nostalgia for one's old home is often a manifestation of a longing for the carefree innocence and joy of childhood. Returning to a familiar physical space may reveal that it has changed or lost its charm, leaving one to realize that it was not the actual house that was missed, but the memories and happiness associated with that time in their life. It emphasizes the significance of the experiences and emotions connected to a place rather than the place itself.
