20 isnāt old at all. iām about to turn 20 in a couple days. i donāt feel old at all, this is the youngest iāll ever be. i donāt care about the gen alpha shit because those kids have never known what the internet used to be and therefore i could care less about their opinions or feeling old because of them since these kids never had a a real chance of creating/experiencing things without being told what to feel/experience by ruthless, exploitative algorithms. as for the slang, slay and baller have been in the cultural zeitgeist since like 2016 (and honestly way before then bc itās aave) iāve been saying that shit since middle schoolš that came wayyyy before gen alpha i think theyāre just using it in really brain rotted ways but ngl these kids are funny as fuck

š¤·i know 20 is young and i blend in with my younger friends a little and since i have a youthful appearance it shocks people to hear im older than they are . ive always felt a touch ahead and way more behind. my life has honestly from my teen years felt like a messy blur and i think the internet is honestly to blame for that. but aging isnāt scary to me, it just is. and honestly canāt wait to be 21. i think gen alpha culture is also largely passed down and sometimes curated by gen z idk. gen alpha is like babies to me. idk i donāt feel old and maybe i can inpart some wisdom to the little alphas to go the hell outside. seriously. thereās a capitalistic market on your attention span but you still have control. ramble idk. i still have much to go and experience

š°i just feel like me. i felt old when i was like 22-24 but now at 27 iām just like wow i havenāt been alive that long and actual old people just see me as a 20-something. also like yeah while i guess you get more mature with more life experience, your brain still feels the same somehow (maybe bc maturity isnāt linear or a truly measurable metric). i get why people begin to lose touch with things as they get older not bc theyāre too old to understand but itās like what use do i have knowing what cultural signifiers will get me approval from a 10, 15 or even 20 year old? i donāt even care what my peers think.
i used to have an obsession with mustaches and bacon in middle school and said shit like ārawr means i love you in dinosaur xDā like i have no place judging the new stuff that the kids are saying today.

šThis rec inspired by an extended family gathering ages 10-75. Yes most slang will age poorly but they other generations have dumb as shit words too. My wifeās grandpa once called something āboffoā instead of great. So if you wanna be a based youthpilled vibemaxxing wordcel (you actually probably shouldn't) go ahead and donāt let boomers and gen x bully you for it.

iāve been humming this song and thinking about it all day for some reason. itās about her traveling the world, going to all these different countries, but still missing home. while joni isnāt a native californian (sheās canadian) i hear her love and longing for it in this song. her voice is just so delicate yet so powerful at the same and when she hits those runs with the high notes it tickles my brain. i donāt know how she does it man. the lyrics are great as well too, one of the best songwriters to ever live.
this song makes me love my home even more than i already do. even when i lived in texas for a few years i would wish a tornado would come and tear down the trailer park i lived in during tornado season in the summer, literally kneeling on the ground inside of the neighborhood shelter with my palms together, eyes closed, praying to god to let mother nature do its thing so i could go back home to california.
obviously, joni and i were in 2 very different situationsā¦

this movie is amazing. i love how they kept the original dialogue of the play and used it in the movies but still modernized the setting and characters. a lot of movies make romeo and juliet bland and boring but this one is vibrant, with fun wardrobes, religious iconography everywhere, and this movie feels so saturated. leonardo dicaprio is charming as always in this movie and he plays an amazing romeo to pair with precious juliet. i absolutely love the person who plays mercutio, they did an AMAZING job.
the problem with all the other romeo and juliet movies is that they always take themselves too seriously but you have to remember, this was meant for stage theatre and shakespeare was a playwright who loved to be humorous. all of that gets lost in every single other romeo and juliet movie except this one. itās so fun, i highly recommend.
CAUTION: tears might be shed.
