      I think that's precisely why it's difficult for so many of us to look back. The fact that they were so good and we can never truly recapture it is extremely painful. At least it is for me. It gets even harder if you're someone who realized too late that they were wasting the best years of their life sitting on their ass playing video games and doing nothing else (talking about myself here and I may be suicidal yes).

    I get a similar feeling when I'm visiting the neighborhood I grew up in, 20 years ago. Houses look different, the street looks different, most of my old neighbours died, most of my friends moved far away. Businesses that used to operate there are now closed. It's almost like I'm a ghost lurking there. The place and people of my childhood exist only in my memories. And when I die, these memories will go away forever as if they never happened.

    • @emmy4537
      @emmy4537 2 года назад +7

      It’s bittersweet and that’s how life goes unfortunately. It’s important to plan ahead for the future, however it’s just as important to enjoy yourself “in the now” as well so in the future you’ll have mostly good memories to look back on.
      It’s because I’ll die eventually that I have less anxiety now because I no longer care about what people may think of me, and that I do more of the things I want to do and make as many good interactions with people as possible.
      Before I know it, the 2020’s will be my version of the 1980’s in the sense that a lot of time would have passed by that time.

      @@tttarms1970 Lets not lump us millennial's all into one category as those who don't enjoy metal or rock music. I'm also a millennial but also have older cousin's / friends who enjoy metal / rock / rap. I grew up around it all through the 90's & even now. ✌ I was put in certain circumstances back then were I was pretty much hanging out with older kids who were from the 80's when I was very little back then in the early to mid 90s. I still remember in 2nd grade riding the bus & they were playing between rock & hip hop music from the radio on a Christian private school bus. The other kids on the bus were 10th, 11th, & 12th graders because it was a small Christian private school.

    Hey, I love your videos. I'm 47, and I identify so much with your lives your history. You were me, I was you. I was a metalhead then, and I am today also. The only thing different is my parents were squares and wouldn't let me have long hair. When I was 25, I had hair reaching below my armpits (not armpit hair!) and earrings in my ears. Now, like you, I have short hair, am somewhat balding, and still fixated in some ways on the last decent decade - the 1980s! That's why I started watching your videos. You bring back great (and some not-so-great) memories, and it has been great walking down your memory lane with you and seeing how much your neighborhood (and lives) has changed.

It all looked so similar, the times were just simpler and people didn't stress, they just made their own fun and lived their lives.
