How to use "By-gone" in context?
nostalgia is one of the most cherished feelings in our lives. When we think of the old days, we feel like we miss them. Times have changed and we can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for by-gone days. Some things may have lost their appeal, but we remember the good times we had.
Nostalgia is a sentiment that is often felt when looking back on good times in the past. It can also be a mix of sadness and happiness. We enjoy reminiscing about the good old days because they felt simpler and more carefree.
