To think it’s not normal how much I miss the 90’s and my youth

[Heartbeatonandhomeworkdone]

I think about it a lot. I have vivid memories of the mid 90’s (47 now) and being 13-17 in particular, 15-17 are the highlights.
I remember how I looked, the clothes I wore, how I walked, how I thought.
The naughtiness and excitement of those times, also being in my family home, that amazing group of friends, the laughing, the dancing, how anything seemed possible.
It almost feels like a dream

Does anyone else feel like this? The world seems such a very different place

I could cry for those days sometimes

I was a teenager in the 1980s and I think it was a very different decade to thr 90s but I'd go back again. Early 80s were not good at home, but mid late 80s, university etc, I'd go now.

In the 90s I think there was more optimism , the Cold War was over and the threat of nuclear war that we'd been under in the 80s receded.

I think a lot of is about being young and having life ahead of you, no matter what decade. But some decades are better than others. The 2020s have been awful so far.

Absolutely not! Why on earth would you want to trade adult life with autonomy, a car, money, your own house, an established relationship and the internet (and of course, your children if you have them) for being a teenager in the 1990s where the most exciting things around were doing your GCSE homework, phoning a friend on a landline after 6pm, 5 channels of TV or drinking cider in a park?

There was much more than that 😂almost daily fun and excitement

Most people feel like that about whatever decade of their life they were a child, adolescent and young adult.

It's trendy on social media for it to be the 90s currently because those including me who were that age in the 90s are now middle aged and middle-age can be a difficult time for a number of reasons.

But talk to people in their late 60s and early 70s like my parents and they talk about how fantastic the 70s were.

It's common in every generation.
