The question underneath the title is the one I kept returning to: not whether we can have nice things, but whether we've still retained the ability to experience them. There's a numbness that can settle in — from the speed of consumption, from the sheer volume of beautiful things — that makes even genuine loveliness land flat. What you're circling feels like a relearning: how to be in relationship with an object rather than just in possession of it. The candle that smells like something, the cup that feels right in your hand. It's not nostalgia. It's actually paying attention.
