This feels like the platform I imagined the cool girls would post on when I was 10 years old. They always wore hoop earrings, had an extensive CD and perfume collection and were the kindest people you would ever meet.
2025 always sounded so futuristic but I feel like I am back in the 2010s again.
As i try to disconnect from social media more and be more mindful of how and what media i consume, i chase this feeling from my childhood. Wasting my Saturdays behind the family computer and going down a Youtube rabbit hole, blasting music from my CD player and trying to text on my Nokia phone (by having to press a button three times to get one letter.) Is it the innocence i miss because i didn't have a clue about attachment styles in relationships or the imposter syndrome i get when i go on LinkedIn? I don't know. But since the beginning of 2025 I have noticed once more, I am still 10-year old Sara:
I have been listening to Avicii again, since his new documentary came out at the beginning of this year. I am always on the hunt for 2000s Guess kitten heels and handbags on Vinted and Vestiaire. Watching Lamine Yamal play reminds me of the creativity that Brazilian Football represents and the joy i had when watching them compete in the World Cup in 2014.
There is this quote i love, which talks about you being a mosaic of the people you've ever loved and how they impact you in different ways. As much as I am a product of the people in my life i am also a product of my time. As a 2002 baby I do miss the simplicity of social media, post recession pop and my daily workout being completed on Wii Sports. As nostalgic as I am, i can't wait for what this year has in store.
