Toxic nostalgia feeling... Years ago, I moved from one country to another, and now I miss that place a lot

I am M, 36, from a relatively mid/poor European country, let's call it A.

Not going into too many details... Years ago, I lived, studied, and worked in country B. After around 5 years, I went back to country A. I bought my own flat, have a wonderful boyfriend, and my life is fine (I have some problems with my mental health, but they're unrelated to the subject).

However, even after being back in country A for 5 years now, I still miss the other one like crazy. Especially the city where I lived (obviously?). I remember so many details- going shopping, working a bad job, evening walks, but more than anything, I guess, the feeling that I'd become someone better and richer.

Now, where I am, I feel like life won't become much more than it is. Somehow, the magic is lost.

I am not entirely sure if it's because I moved away. Maybe my brain is idealizing the country where I lived. But I don't want to feel this nostalgia anymore.

I guess I don't know what am I really asking. Maybe just wondering how to fight a feeling of nostalgia and sadness.

How can I improve my teeth?

Male, 34 years old, so far I did nothing about it

  • Those side teeth (eye teeth?) are sharp and look a bit like I'm a vampire;
  • Central teeth up are irregural shape and the one on the right broke in the middle - years ago a dentist taped something and it fell again days after;
  • The down teeth are pushing each other and have sharp edges, I often bite myself and it hurts a lot

I am not happy with any of them, at least aesthetically, is there fixing any of it?

Is this racism?

So, I am a big fan of Drag Race, and also, I am European.

Both are important for the context here - I read this discussion (pictured) and I was surprised how people can casually talk against any race, even if it's the dominant one in the USA (by numbers). Yes, as European things are a bit different here, I know the context in the USA. I still found this racist. I even wrote to the mods, and they just banned me permanently.

So, if this question isn't too controversial, what do you think, is this racism or should this be ok?
