It is a beautiful thing but can also be very dark and dangerous. The older I get the more I realize this and the more wary of it I become
Some of the most powerful emotions I have ever felt have been when I physically visited places from earlier in my life and have seen what they have become since then. "Bittersweet" does not even come close to capturing the full breadth of the emotion that is elicited. I am not even going to try to describe it with words. It is probably not possible, at least not for me. It is a powerful enough force that it causes physiological effects on me that I cannot consciously control, which is rare for me
Even now I struggle to come up with "analysis" to describe my feelings surrounding nostalgia. Pangs of joy, warmth, regret, confusion, resentment, fear. It is the only Nietzschean abyss that I am too afraid to fully look into. Because I don't believe that I could handle what is in there if I was to confront it with the entirety of my Being

Isn't it from Greek meaning "home+pain"? Like, you return to your home after a long absence and feel pain.

In Greek nostalgia literally means the pain from an old wound. It’s a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone.

I don't know I'm 69 IQ and don't know much ancient Greek etymology. But that sounds right
No one warns you about just how powerful nostalgia is. Everyone is always like haha yeah wow nostalgia, everyone remembers the good ol days you know. But it's not like that. It's an unbelievably powerful biochemical sensation, like sharing a passionate kiss in a whirlwind romance or embracing a friend after making it through trials and tribulations together
When I see what has been done to the places that were once such an important part of my life and the lives of others I loved, it fills me with such an overwhelming sense of love but also overwhelming loss. Being pulled in both directions at the same time, as tightly as my heart can be pulled
It is a psychic assault that I am helpless against. Like a form of rape

A lot of growing up is losing your innocence, which is why as a parent, you protect your children's innocence. So when you go back to these places and remember back to a different time, it's like you realize you're dealing with the loss of a child, not so much that the child literally died, but that the child/teen/young adult/whatever is gone and never coming back.

I think you'd unironically like The Diving Bell and the Butterfly if you haven't read it, my brother in poasting and soul searching - it's short and sweet and easily read in one sitting. (I also love the movie FWIW)
For some reason that's always what I think of when it comes to experiencing things that go far beyond words, even internal unspoken words, yet are also far more real than words can describe in any context - as in, not just real in terms of deeply felt and experienced, but real in the sense of the ultimate reality we're living in and seeing / sensing through a glass darkly
