I am the most nostalgic person I know. It is sort of a curse at times because I often romanticize parts of my life that should not be, but there are highlights to it too. I love finding things that made me happy as a young kid especially. There was a kind of magic to the world that only existed in the early 2000's that is still somewhat accessible through indulging in nostalgia. I made a whole Pinterest board of memories from my childhood. I can guarantee that if you were a kid in 1994-2009, this board I created will encapsulate some really fun memories of your childhood (especially if you were a girl)
i’m nostalgic about literally everything but my childhood holds such a special place in my heart. i do believe that those years were the best of my life, not because of the rose coloured way a little girl sees the world, but because it was all much better back then. everything felt colourful and exciting and genuine. i couldn’t wait to become like the teens / young adults i saw on tv and looked up to but then i grew up and everything was just different and i’ve missed it all ever since. anything and any media from the 2000s i come across gives me such a bittersweet feeling, all the other comments on this post as well :’)
I like nostalgia, I like to feel like I miss a memory or feeling. I like to think that in some future I will feel what my mind remembers again. I like to feel nostalgic about scenarios that haven't even happened but are there, waiting to happen.
I've posted about this once before and will post about it again, I'm sure. One of the things that I have noticed since getting letterboxed last year is how afraid people are to admit they like something. that new animated k-pop movie on netflix made me notice this again when three of the people that I have on there prefaced their reviews with a variant of "i consumed this ironically, but it was actually kind of good..."
...LAME... and a little bit pathetic to see tbh.
We really need to remember that you only live once. just fucking enjoy the stuff you like, and stop asking the world for permission and acceptance to do so! being so afraid of what others will think when you post a review under a kid's movie is more cringe than admitting you like a kid's movie.
