i believe in re-reading and re-watching your favourite books & movies at different stages of your life. the plot never changes, but your perspective does.
@MsJennaBalls Ohh wow! We wanting to take a trip to CO in the fall and are thinking about driving instead of flying, but the drive looks like about 15 hours for us which sounds absolutely insane π
I genuinely think a lot of millennials are reaching the same conclusion at the same time.
We grew up watching technology make life better every year. Cell phones. iPods. Smartphones. An app for everything. It felt like the future was arriving right in front of us, and we couldnβt wait for what came next.
Then somewhere along the way, it changed.
Everything became a subscription. Social media became algorithms. Every day feels like another once-in-a-lifetime event. The things that were supposed to save us time somehow ended up demanding more of our attention than ever.
We were sold convenience.
What we got was a world that feels faster, louder, more expensive, and somehow less human.
And thatβs why so many people I know dream about a completely different life now. Not more technology. Not more optimization.
Just a quiet job, a flip phone, a small town, and a place where life feels real again.
