Party Like it's 1999
If you played with Barbies,
Polly Pockets,
Beanie Babies,
Tamagotchi,
Slip N’ Slide,
And
SatanFurbies,
Listened to the Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, NSync and the Spice Girls
On Hit Clips, a Boom Box, or a Walkman,
Collected and traded Pokemon cards,
Wrote with Gel Pens,
Wore butterfly clips,
And Snap Bracelets,
And remember watching these guys:
You are a 90s kid.
These days, it’s easy to lose one’s self. It’s easy to drown yourself in a sea of distractions and let it all seep into your system. I’ve been detached from the world the past months. I can’t seem to admit to myself that I’m lost, that I’m not exactly where I thought I’d be right now— But I have to stay, not because I want to but because I have to.
Somebody throw me a life vest.
“For children, childhood is timeless. It is always the present. Everything is in the present tense. Of course, they have memories. Of course, time shifts a little for them and Christmas comes round in the end. But they don’t feel it. Today is what they feel, and when they say ‘When I grow up,’ there is always an edge of disbelief—how could they ever be other than what they are?”
—Ian McEwan
