Is it normal to try to recapture those emotions?

So I lived in an apartment with my ex girlfriend and we have since broken up we broke up in may of last year but we lived in this complex in 2021. There was a lot of fun times in this apartment that pull me back. It has horrible reviews but I feel a tie to the apartment complex now as a part of my story

It is absolutely normal to feel the 'ghost' of good memories so to speak. I think everyone has or will in their lives. Except for me, going to places I went with my ex brings back the memories in a sad, painful way. There are even songs I still can't listen to anymore because they were ones I liked when we first met.

Yeah I go to the store we worked at together, earlier this year I wanted to do the whole thing I wanted to move back into that complex and get a job where we used to work together

I understand the nostalgia, but I'm glad that plan didn't come to pass for you (assuming it didn't). That would literally be "living in the past" too much, and while you might have memories, you want to stay focused on the future.

It’s normal.
