I’m guessing people are sharing this intending it to generate a laugh or a scoff and not… you know, an incontrollable welling up of nostalgia and longing where you can smell every part of the picture and you know in your soul you’re never going home again?
Saudade - A word in Portuguese and Galician denoting an emotional state of melancholic or profoundly nostalgic longing for a beloved yet absent someone or something. It derives from the Latin word for solitude. It is often associated with a repressed understanding that one might never encounter the object of longing ever again. It is a recollection of feelings, experiences, places, or events, often elusive, that cause a sense of separation from the exciting, pleasant, or joyous sensations they once caused. Duarte Nunes Leão defines saudade as, “Memory of something with a desire for it”.

Or maybe a light chuckle or something.
This would probably go down easier with a future.
As is: wtf why did you do that to me?

Damn bro.
I really thought it was for the nostalgia
wouldn’t it be great if when we think of something in the past, we could also smell what it smelt like
