Oh kids today will never know the horrible sound, similar to the sound a cat makes when you try to give it a bath of dial up Internet, of your parent yelling at you to get off the computer so they can make a phone call. They will never know the feeling of having to wear a belt in order to keep your pants up if you were lucky enough to even have a cell phone because it was so heavy it dragged those suckers down or it was too big to fit in your pocket so you had to wear a lame ass belt clip/pouch lol. The annoyance of having to go to the library to find information because the Internet didn't have all the answers at that time.
So growing up in the 90s meant I dealt with all those things, realizing how much the world has changed in such a short amount of time I'm only 24 almost 25 and to think if I ever have kids they may never know the scent of a book or feel the worn pages.everything they want to know is at their fingertips, Its a shame really. I remember when I was in middle school I had this sweatshirt that said Angry,Young and Poor. I wore that thing till it was in rags and then patched it up till it barely resembled its original form. Its saying fit me so well at the time. I was angry, I was young (still am) and I was poor. As I got older Ive learned that I'm still young and always will be because theres always something new to learn, I'm no longer as angry as I was Ive learned or rather forced myself to stay as neutral as possible as they say in frozen conceal, don't feel. And as for the poor thing, money wise I am poor but in friends and things that make me happy I am rich, richer than the richest man in the world.
I once saw a movie with Robin Williams where he said, "you cant have everything, or is it you can have everything because it seems like some people do have everything" I may not have gotten that completely correct but you get the gist of it.
I guess what this once again rambling post is trying to say is be happy with what you have, make the best of it and in the process if you can make someone else happy too.
I miss the 90s where the hardest thing I had to do was my math homework ha ha
