Oh god.....1998 WAS that long ago......
I was thinking "1998? If he were 26 he would be born in........oh."
It just feels like 1998 was just a couple of years ago. Like 3 years ago. Then I remember how much stupid shit the world has gone through since 2000, and I think "OOOOOH! My brain is just blocking out entire decades!"
And the year 2020 simultaneously didn't happen at all, and was also 10 years long.
I'd just love if the world stopped being a massive dumpster fire that I psychologically block out, much the same as trauma victims do after they've experienced something horrific. Which is an accurate way to describe life since 2001.
But younger than you, trapped around 2016 mentally. Like, I'll still write it for the date every now and then type of trapped. It's been 9 years since then.
Oh jesus fucking christ I have hoodies older than this kid.
