The world you were raised in no longer exists. Our lives keep going unless we reject them.

Head a guy on the radio a while ago talking about places.
We think of places as being permanent. Sometimes they seem permanent, like Yellowstone.
But most of the time it was the people and circumstances we remember, and associate with the place. And the "place" we remember is therefore long gone but creates a cognitive dissonance because it is physically there.
So you shouldn't aim to "get back to that place" but rather focuse on cultivating what made it good, in the here and now.
