>>3267 > "Enjoy this exact moment you are living in" but for the most part, I cannot stop thinking for some reason. Then, nostalgia will happen and I will remember those moments after realizing how stupid I was for not enjoying them more. I had and to a lesser extent still have a feel very similar feel for most of my life. I remembered realizing that their was moments that I would miss yet I would actively try to cherish that moment when it happened I'd often fail to, yet I'd still feel it later. I remember first realizing thoughts like around 2011. I would sit in my parents old bed room and watch how the sun would shine and just think. I started to think on a lot of things, from wondering what I'd be nostalgic about in th future (and thinking about how I will be nostalgic for those moments right then). I had just discovered the fandom and was lightly consuming content of it on my phone (because I usually looked up stuff on computer), so MLP has an association in all of this and was a major player in my interests to this day . I feels odd to talk about because I have a hard time wording it. That era and MLP to an extent plays a part in how I divide time and eras.
>>3260 >What I wouldn't give to live out early 2000's internet plus ponies combo. Granted, I wasn't there, and it probably looks wonderful only on paper, but still, the temptation and sentiment is huge.
I remember that era. Playing flash games on Lego's website. My grandmother's dial up. Old forums and websites I'd get a glimpse of while watching my Dad mess with the computer. Specialty new tech machines that do one purpose, as oppose to everything being a IoT smartphone. It's an era I'd like to revisit simply because there was less centralization, though I do agree that a lot of it was rose tinted glasses.
