me in 2019: yeah no i wouldn’t call myself an “old soul” i think my interests are fairly relevant. i don’t think i’d ever be one. me in 2024: .do yuo guys remember flappy bird and rainbow loom and minecraft letsplays and the dab and those shirts with the sequins and the cold shoulders on them and nightcore and animation memes and fidget spinners and vine and the area 51 raid and the day everyone posted chimneys and those memes where it was a character surrounded by heart emojis with some kind of motion blur around it and the magic card memes and funny reaction images and that thing everybody did where they put their arms in their sweaters and it made them look like little chickens or that one person with the hoodie who pulled the string things in all the way so it only showed their lips and then put sunglasses on over it so it looked like a funny face and. and. do you wanna see my cd collection or my books. can i have a physical copy of that book. i prefer my headphones to have wires thank u very much. yeah man i really want a flip phone or like. a refurbished older cell.

#sorry for getting really sentimental about the 2010s (and mentioning some 2000s stuff)#it will probably happen again #look man #i get some of these things are still around #but they dont feel the same #idk it just feels like ppl used to be a lot nicer??#like i think ppl have gotten too comfortable with just being cynical and mean all the time #i havent met one person my age who gets excited about the new year anymore. not even people my parents’ age or my cousins’ ages #the future seemed really bright but now it feels like nobody sees it that way anymore??#and i get it #shit happens #its fine to be upset with the world! ive been there a lot #but i feel like we as a society can benefit from being a little less doom and gloom all the time #like. covid really caused a huge cultural shift #earlier today i saw a video that was talking about how we dont really have any good comedy movies to have come out in the past couple of yr #which are dedicated comedies. and how people are leaning more towards drama with some funny bits #and like. thats the main reason why ive been thinking about all this stuff #that and the fact that youtube is recommending me videos from my 5+ year old ‘watch later’ playlist #like no thanks youtube i dont wanna watch ‘morgz’s mom went bankrupt’#anyway maybe im just uncomfortable with the passage of time and how things change #buildings get renovated trees get cut down playgrounds get replaced mall stores close sites shut down etc etc #it makes me sad and mad about the fact that i cant do anything about it and dont know what to do about how i feel #sorry for the random rant i just have a lot of feels rn
