Thread 81896600

Why don't you start developing nostalgia for the current year, so you can look back on it someday? You say each year gets worse and worse after all - maybe today isn't so bad in comparison to the future.

i dont have and will not have nostalgia i simply enjoy the spirit of the times

Because I'm older and I no longer have the ability to enjoy things in an innocent and intense manner.
Regarding innocence, a good example is movies. Now that I'm older I can clearly see the propaganda (if any) that used to fly under the radar. I can clearly see bad acting, or ridiculous plots. Sometimes I can even guess what's going to happen next. I can make a mental image of the types of people behind the scenes, their ideas, worldviews, personality traits. I am no longer enjoying the movie for it's own sake, it has become a cultural phenomenon to be picked apart with the knowledge I have gained over the years.
Regarding intensity, I no longer have the energy to become obsessed with something on a whim. To do so would be a chore that I force myself to do. But even if something did capture my attention without effort, the feelings I have for it are not and never will be as intense as they were when I was young.
My brain is simply not the same. It has become solidified, and too aware.

Good point I suppose. Might not be as intense but I still have nostalgia for things I experienced in my 20s. Or maybe that's the last gasp of a pliable brain.

My last gasp was in my late 20s when I had a (non-sexual) relationship with a zoomer girl online, and I say this as someone who's been fortunate enough to have IRL relationships and friends. I fed off of her energy and had a sort of childlike excitement learning about her life, sharing and expressing emotions, and generally caring about the relationship the way a young person might. She eventually ghosted me and ever since then my attitude has been "This isn't interesting, I've seen it all before." Years have gone by and I'm still the exact same person as I was when I turned 30, perhaps a little more tired and older looking.

Making memories right now is financially irresponsible

>>81896600 (OP)
people get nostalgia for things that they didn't experience and missed out thats why all the zoomers now crave the 00s as they were either kids or not born at that time instead of teens

nigger, i'm 20. wtf am i supposed to be nostalgic for.
