    All that Snow Ball stuff that makes you wistful and so on: that's what porn (etc) stole from us.
     
  2. Very true! I didn't even think about going to any dances in HS because I was content with images on a screen.

    That scene where Lucas is practicing in the mirror what he's going to say to Max, figuring out how to interact with a girl... all that stuff where we navigate it and learn and grow. Didn't do any of that. But, you know, "we're more connected because of our devices, you just don't understand." Yes, my young friends, we do get it. We get it all too well, and you should listen to us. Their children's generation, gen z or whatever, is going to listen to the wisdom of their elders because they'll see the cascade of unnecessary errors made by their parents.
     
  4. That's the greatest wish I have for the generations to come, and my greatest question "Why didn't I?".
    Thank you!

    I know you wrote this in November but I just finished season 2 and on a whim searched for Stranger Things, thinking I would, at best, maybe see people talking about the finale but I didn't expect to find someone who was left feeling the exact same way. I've even been using the word wistful to try to describe this feeling (I find it amazing that humans even came up with a word that so accurately describe this feeling because to me it feels so complicated). I honestly can't stop thinking about it. It's weird because in some ways I feel like its a feeling I want to hold onto, even though its a sad one. My deep hope is that its really a feeling of temporary loneliness, something that will resolve itself when I find real companionship or of a desire for youthful experiences that I can still have. The more frightening alternative is that its simply the sting of regret for missing out on the childhood that I wanted and that no amount of experiences in my young adulthood will resolve that sense of loss. Its confusing to be this affected by Stranger Things but this has honestly been really emotional for me. Thank you for reminding me I am not alone.
