      Might sound weird, but as a kid I just thought "This is the way the world is".

    But I do not think “things were better back then” and I have absolutely no desire to “go back”. That’s because I’ve done something with my life, achieved my goals, and very much enjoy my life just as much as an adult (if not more) than I did as a kid.

    Love these days. Miss them terribly sometimes . Its bittersweet, bc it was such a happy time for me but i know ill never be able to experience it again. I was born in 85 so my childhood was literally the 90s. And no one give me the " stop romanticizing the past" nonsense. Im very much aware of reality, im not saying there werent problems n im def not saying the world would be perect if we went back in time. But i was a child living an extremely happy carefree life. Personally for me its those feelings i long to get back..not necessarily the 90s itself. I also would love to go back to be able to be around family members that i have lost since then. Hope that makes sense. Theres a difference between romanticizing the past n simply looking back on the past with fond memories n wishing u could re live it again briefly. Ijs if a 2wk vacation destination was "my childhood in the 90s" id be booking a ticket asap lol.
