Rosestalgic 

Rosestalgic (adjective): a term used to describe a nostalgic or sentimental longing for a past that is viewed in an overly positive or idealized way, similar to how things may appear when viewed through rose-tinted glasses. The term is a portmanteau of "rose" and "nostalgic," and may be used to describe a variety of emotions or experiences, such as a fondness for a particular era or time period, a longing for a childhood home or neighborhood, or a sentimental attachment to a particular object or memory.

The use of the term "Rosestalgic" acknowledges that the memories or feelings being experienced may not be entirely accurate or realistic, but rather are influenced by a selective or idealized view of the past. This term may be used in a variety of contexts, such as in personal reflection, cultural criticism, or artistic expression.
"When I think back on my childhood home, I realize that my memories are somewhat Rosestalgic, with a tendency to overlook the messy rooms and family arguments in favor of the warm, comforting moments of togetherness."
