I was born in the 90s but for some reason I yearn for those golden decades between the 60s and 80s.
I feel like it was a perfect mix between the old and the new. We had modern machinery that made human lives easier so we weren't just toiling in a jungle all day but we also had the old traditions such as eating high quality foods, average people still ate organ meats, and one the biggest things in my opinion which is no internet and smartphones. The people we were around were the people we were around. We were more involved in our real daily lives and truly knew the people around us, friends, family teachers, milkman, garbage man, preacher, etc.
The world seemed bigger, and if you heard some major news from China or Egypt, it would really fascinate you. What could these exotic countries and people really be like you'd wonder.
Porn and sex wasn't around every corner so those emotional and sexual experiences would have probably felt a lot more magical and the discoveries would have been in and of themselves more memorable.
Am I just romanticising in my head or was this really how it was?
I really hate how the world now feels so small and less mysterious. I don't wonder what the Gaza pyramids or the Eiffel tower are like because I can see a 4K video of it.
Social media has made all relationships feel so superficial, and it just boils down to who has the best looking selfies and who has the most likes. It's harder to enjoy life when it seems like everyone is doing so much better than you on Instagram.
