cyberspace

i guess this is sort of a hello, but also a talking-to-myself kind of explanation of why i'm liking this so much.
i think i miss the 2000s too much. i know nostalgia lies, but i was a teenager and i think my life was simpler and happier. and there wasn't a pandemic going on.
i often imagine going back in time to 2008 or 2009 and fixing all the mistakes i've made since then. and being happier now. and appreciating the then so much more.
i also miss how the internet was like in that time. i think it was more interesting. it felt like you could stumble upon so many weird and wonderful ideas. and now everything is on the same social media and it feels just like visiting a shitty mall.
i think social media was also a bit nicer. that it wasn't literally omnipresent kinda helped. you could walk away. you had this little corner on myspace, hi5, bebo, windows live spaces or whatever and you shared this side of you there, but you could walk away.
i'm always on twitter although it often makes me feel like shit. i uninstalled it from my phone just so that it doesn't chase around me like some giant vulture. i think i like the dopamine rush slightly too much
i don't have an answer for any of this,
but it's nice to go back to simpler times
