replaying childhood memories

Someone has been replaying childhood memories inside their head, but it is becoming an obsession that could ruin their current chapter of life.  Today's card combination urges this person to finish with the reminiscing.  The joy from the childhood memories is becoming an emotional drug, and our querent is close to bottoming out.  This person must mentally disengage, esp if the memories revolve around a teenage sweetheart. The cards prompt our nostalgia junkie to say to the ghost in their past, "I cared about you alot, and I still have love for you, but that was then, and now it's over."  This is the most appropriate and nourishing type of compassion for the past, the present, and everyone's mental health.

Again, today's cards come from the Thoth Tarot, a deck specifically for divination.
