to try to live in the 2000s

[xXcalamity]

i'm so tired of modern life. of the smartphones, social media, redevelopments, drama, tacky clothes and 'trends'

starting last year, i started doing that. bought myself a flip phone, a digicam, an laptop that looks like it escaped from the 2000s despite still being in production, as well as a netbook from the same company and an ipod style mp3 player (images of all the tech attached), and some 2000s clothes.

i'm just questioning if all this is worth it. my workplace doesn't push ai or smartphone bullshit on me but i'm wondering if creating a fake life that does not exist is really worth it. my activities are based around stuff that is 2000s, i will not go to a modern looking restaurant or place...

it's too late to go back but i just sort of sulk about it now. it's fun but also a sacrifice

Exactly. Ironically, it a very 2020s look at me I’m so quirky and interesting kind of vibe.

I am sure everyone was dressing the same! I was in high school back then and I remember this Britney Spears era where every girl was wearing this horrible extremely low rise jeans! And heels it was such a big thing! Give trainers any day!

Agreed. Yawn.
