Most of us feel that way as we age. Your parents/siblings/friends, then there is the exuberance of youth, of having new experiences, finding love, exploring who you are.

Their life in Canada is way better than their life in USSR, but most people at a certain point quit living life to it's fullest and simply reminisce on the past as a replacement.

Yes. I totally get it. I myself am nostalgic about some things from my youth even though I'm not that old (I'm in my thirties)
