I couldn't honestly do that, the nostalgia would be too much for me, even for only 10 years ago, even 5.
And then how do you process past relationships and marriages? Or the death of loved ones? Or other such traumatic experiences?

How do you process them when you remember them occasionally without specific prompting?
Live your life one day at a time.
for one, i consider the diary as something others may read some day, i don't necessarily want share my feelings. but also, at least from my experience so far, reading about the facts of a traumatic experience helps me remember the feelings i had at the time. so rereading entries and recalling events is how i process these.
it rather manifests in other ways.
if i may say so, i sense a certain "i wish i had the strength to do that" in your comment. i am afraid that what comes across as strength is rather a weakness, a sort of inability to be affected by these events. it took me decades to understand where that comes from, and still has me wonder, why.
