DIFFERENT: SOME THINGS BETTER, SOME THINGS WORSE, AS IS LIFE

some of my core memories: - playing on webkinz or bearville with my cousin every night - making random things out of duct tape (the wallets, the bows, omg) (definitely more late 2000s but still) - the vibrant and fun patterns on everything (i loveeeeed lisa frank) - being outside a lot more - when I got a slide phone and I accidentally pressed the internet button and I had to viciously go back to the home screen or it would add a charge to the bill and my parents would get mad - land lines, we still have ours, but I'm seeing less and less people have them now - primarily listening to CD's (and not understanding pirating so I was amazed that my aunt could get me beatles CD's for free lol) - having the computer in a different room and not being on it all the time besides when Id play games or watch cat video compilations on youtube - speaking of games, the spongebob computer games were fire - also speaking of games, playing my dad's ps1 (when we play them now we're like, how could we even play these?? the quality is so bad compared to what we're used to now lmao) - then there were the unfortunate parts of it like the only jeans that you could find were low-mid rise, which Im pretty sure is why I hate them to this day 😭 love that other people love them again but I can barely do mid rise lol - also 2000's clothing sizing was INSANE, even for children, I don't miss that at all - but at least I was alive and conscious for when High School Musical was released - also the shows were so good (at the time anyway, looking at certain nickelodeon shows as an adult gives me the ick) (you know the ones) - also you got peak spongebob

i miss the 2010s

things were easier (because i was a kid) but it seemed so simple. where are all the frozen yogurt restaurants? why don’t people have cds anymore? bring back limewire and online chat blogs and weird websites and silly graphic t-shirts and chunky sneakers and twee and hipster styles. i miss collegehumor and buzzfeed. but i bring the nostalgia for myself back every day by dressing like i stepped out of a rhett and link music video and listening to modest mouse and metric and the yeah yeah yeahs. i love my digital camera and my dvds and volunteering at my university radio station.

BULLET LIST OF VIBES

-media was great -anime -musicals -not allowed to watch certain things like Sponge Bob, Bratz, Rugrats, Adult Swim, etc. -family was (and still is) rich, had an iPad mini and DVD player -Disney World -labeled as mature for my age -had self-awareness early on -executive dysfunction and forgetfulness sunk in pretty early -labeled as too sensitive -swinging, doing monkey bars, and reading at the playground -crafting, making Rainbow Loom bracelets -going to my after school program -connecting more with adults than other kids -awesome room -would only wear dresses for a while -singing to myself all the time -had problems making friends, slight bullying -feared home invasions -watched things too scary for me -contemplated death and big philosophical things -YouTube Kids (wasn‘t allowed on YouTube) -Minecraft -was in Girl Scouts -lemonade stands -hung out with my younger cousin and grandma a lot -camping, loved bugs and nature (still do) -going to the lake with family
I love that I’m still interacting with the media from the 2000s, it’s so nostalgic. I still think of my best friend from kindergarten to middle school that would get bullied for being obsessed with My Little Pony only for it to have a major resurgence now. I was definitely more immersed with the internet than some other people, and I sort of wish I wasn’t, but that’s just how it is. I was privileged, but sometimes it doesn’t feel like it.

BRAIN ROT WILL END?

short form video content is destroying our brains, collectively. It won’t always be this way, though. we are lost in the sauce. there needs to be a revolution. something that brings it to a head to end. It’s really bad guys

Four calendar cafe

to answer your Q: I recommend four calendar cafe by Cocteau twins in terms of passion. its a very cohesive album & you won’t be able to make out lyrics—which helps to get lost into the other person
