I feel both young and old here!

This subreddit makes me feel old when I see all the nostalgia inducing posts. It takes me back, with full awareness that that was a completely different time.
This subreddit makes me feel young when I'm interacting with YOU. I think many of us get each other like only another kid/teen/young-adult can. In those moments I forget that that was a different time.

This sub makes me feel relatively normal

I was just thinking something similar. I just found this sub the other day, and it just hits home. The right amount of nostalgia and complaining all at once ;)

That’s a very interesting take that I hadn’t thought about but agree! It’s great to see how many shared common bonds there are between people who don’t know each other. Nice to see in such a divided country / world.
Sad to say that since everyone is creating their own individual spaces today, these shared generational experiences may be less frequent with younger generations.

I feel like someone born in ‘74 rather than a 50 year old. Didn’t plan it that way but it seems to keep my perspective where I want it.
