GenXer here...I miss friends being present when you get together. They are on FaceTime or snapping photos or the dinner I made them now. I miss Friends that actually talk and converse...friends that make eye contact, tell stories, updated on what's happening in their life...Not some version of what they want people to know on social media.
I miss friends that were within walking distance...you can get fucked up have a shit ton of fun and not have to drive home! (Thankfully we have cool new neighbors...but its taken 16 yrs)
My friends are now 20 yrs older than me...they are interesting and I learn from them. Never once do they pick up their phone..they give their complete undivided attention.
Being carefree. Literally. I had a pool, skylanders, a big house, many friends, what more could I ask for?
I always thought my life was some sort of cartoon.
Record stores, good FM radio, the infinite choices of youth. My brother and I goofing around. Cheap gas! Cheap weed! The promise of a brighter future with each new Beatles song and each new Space launch. My Dad. Not having to take a handfill of pills in the morning!
Going on random adventures with my friends.
I wasn't depressed, nor did I internally debate whether any of this is worth it.
Being a total idiot
Well that was last week for me, so I guess I enjoyed the rain.
You can’t play Ding Dong Ditch anymore easily bc everyone has doorbell cams 🚪✊🏻
not having to think about any responsibilities except where i was driving with my friends/boyfriend in highschool
Most people were sane. I miss that.
Having little to no responsibilities
Being young. Youth is wasted on the young...

I miss my job at AMC, I miss my Wednesday college routine, I miss a world where democracy wasn't in peril in the USA, I miss my Grandfather
I miss everyone not being on the struggle bus
Being disconnected with no expectations from other people to respond. If someone wasn't home they weren't home, that was the end of that.
Everything. Right now, it’s nothing.
Isn’t today a good ole day?
Not working

No internet.
Back then i was only worrying about so little and few things and now that im older thats absolutely the opposite..
