Vibe-Mining
The act of looking back at a past experience and retroactively extracting only the emotional atmosphere or romantic "vibe," while completely ignoring how annoying, stressful, or inconvenient the actual situation was at the time.
It occurs when you miss the anticipation or meaning behind a routine, even though you actively disliked the literal action involved.

I used to absolutely hate waiting outside the hostel because my girlfriend was always late, but now that it's over, I find myself vibe-mining those moments just to feel that sweet sense of anticipation again.
