rearview
Glance at past
Rearview describes something that shows what's behind you, especially the mirror in a vehicle that lets drivers see traffic approaching from the rear: Check your rearview before changing lanes.
Figuratively, rearview suggests looking backward at the past: In the rearview, those years seem simpler than they felt.
