nostalgia
“Ah! The good old time…” Something that we all have said or has crossed our minds at some point, normally with flairs of nostalgia implicit in it. The truth is that not only does this quote evoke vivid memories of our joyful youth, but it also helps us push forward in our daily life by finding in these words a haven of peace. Nevertheless, strange though it may sound, it dawns on me when I myself utter those words that I cannot help have mix feelings about everything concerning nostalgia, and how even the most tender memories you had cherished could be deleterious depending on how they are come at.
As hinted, nostalgia may stem from our longing to live once again when we were five, ten or fifteen years old. The time when, be it eating tons of chocolate, get flocks of your hair cut by your own hands, or the mere fact of coming back home in time were everything about which you had to worry. It is funny how we now say “waste” instead of “spent” when the time keep on just passing by. The thing is that at the end everything comes down to how enjoyable what you do is. And here lie the magic and the problem of nostalgia: while our elder memories are sugar-coated by such feeling, the new ones in comparison hit rock bottom due to the bitter-sweet adulthood.

deleterious is a good word but hurtful is more common

be it usually implies examples + outcome. "Be it videos games, reading books, or sleeping I love free time" for example.
It i's funny how we now say “waste” instead of “spent” when the time keept on just passing us by.
The thing is that atin the end everything comes down to how enjoyable what you do is.
And here lies the magic and the problem of nostalgia: while our elder memories are sugar-coated by suchgood feelings, theour new ones in comparison hit rock bottomare stained due to the bitter-sweet experience of adulthood.
"hit rock bottom" is usually someone's point in time where it never got worse. Think like the vertex of a x^2 graph. No point is "lower".

Thank you very much for your corrections! May I ask you a question?
When I write: "...depending on how they are come at." what do yo imagine? I tried to use this phrasal verb and I think I didn't get its meaning.
What about this sentence now: Be it eating chocolate, getting locks of your hair cut by your own hand, or coming back home, these were everything you had to worry about.
Thank you for your corrections. I really appreciate them!! :)

Of course you can, and sorry for the late reply!
When you write "...depending on how they are come at," I think someone analysing the situation as if it's a problem because usually in english you say "how would you come at this problem?" as an expression of how would you solve it. But in the sentence you talk about remembering something and not necessarily solving a problem.
For "Be it eating chocolate, getting locks of your hair cut by your own hand, or coming back home, these were everything you had to worry about," I think of eating chocolate, cutting big chunks of you hair by my own hand ( "by your own hand" implies that usually someone else's "special" hand cut it) and coming home were things I had to worry about as a child. It makes sense if you had: a chocolate allergy/afraid of eating all the chocolate, afraid of cutting your own hair, and school was so fun you didn't want to go back home. It makes sense but some information is missing so I 100% know what you mean so I kind of have to assume.
