I think the first time I felt really old was when a teenager said "You were a teenager in the '90s?? OMG, that's so cool. What was it like?"

Let me tell you about the 1970s, youngster.

The world seemed more mysterious back then. You had to go all the way to the library to look shit up.

Yea I'm old. I have entered the "get off my lawn" phase of my life.

I've started talking to myself because I'm the ONLY one that really knows.

Now that's not fair. Not enough guns..

Some parts of the ‘80s I’m jelly of, like the not expecting to be reachable constantly, seeming relative ease of getting a job, and arcade culture.

I wouldn’t want the no ozone layer, super high (for the time) milk prices, and crappy video games, though, amongst other things. I have a lot of respect for my loved ones who got through it.

Yeah, shit creeps up on you.
