I miss the new days. I hope they are as good as I have been remembering them ;p

>>12983
Honestly the future seems scary af

All the things people are afraid of about the future, that fear is channeled into action that prevents those fears from coming fruition. Things will work out.

I definitely do. I had no idea we had so little time to share together.

I used to but not anymore? Maybe 10 years ago I had this idea that there was no future, that no matter what I did it wouldn't matter since everything's been done, all the good moments have already happened. After this year, I not only feel optimistic about the future but I also kind of realize how lame looking back at the past can be, and not just because the memories I look back on are lame things like playing games lol.

sometimes, and i'm even nostalgic of stuff that were happening some months ago, but the present is fun too!

I miss the internet. Things felt more authentic even when I just played shitty web games where you had to grind shitty PNGs.
I also wish I could have took my weeb hobbies more seriously instead of using them passively to escape reality. It seems fun trying to learn japanese or build a project in the animu world, whether it's drawings or maybe a visual novel. Unfortunately I've been lazy so I didn't develop skills that would allow me to create something meaningful.
Despite having these heart wrenching feelings about my past self and about human reality, seeing other people's works and cute waifus still is a lot of fun. I'm grateful for that.

Yes but the past is a different country that you can't return to…..

The old days are gone, man

i'm a zoomer so i don't have much about "old days", i miss a bit about my life pre-covidshit because i was a normie and have "friends" had more contact with women is just nostalgia shit that happen once a time but really i like that thanks the pandemic shit i knew where i truly i am and what are really my interests

>>12982
I have been missing them for the last 4 years. And the last few years feel like a complete void like nothing happened really, I can't tell you anything that happened to me in 2020 or 2019, these years are just numbers now. I do miss being a teen but I think it wasn't as good as I remember it, I think we mostly remember the positive aspects from the past. If I try to remember the past the way it actually was I think it wasn't that much better than the present. But at least back then I wanted to live and was excited about the future.

Keep a journal sushi roll! It helps me feel like I exist as a person across time.

>>12982
don't miss them so much as I wish I didn't fuck them up so badly

Niggas talking 'bout the good old days while they still owe me money.

>>13704
What an interesting sentiment.

>>12982
>>12983
Yes but you can never go back…

HELL NO
My future is better than my past. Whoever clings to what has been and is not looking forward to what comes next is a fool!

>>15568
you say that you don't cling to the past, and yet you respond to a 2-year old OP. Curious.

>>15570
U tryin' 2 put ur numbers on me? i clearly replied to a post made two hours before mine

>>12982
Some of them, but for the most part, they weren't great. The present isn't good either. I can only hope the future will be better.

>>15589
Hope ain't enough, the future is the house that is built in the present.
I'm sure you'll make through, I'll root for you

i dont really miss the old days. it's more missing when I was young

>>12982
Yes

It's a bit of the reason why I come back here so often. It's nostalgic.
I also think that what I have now compared to the past is better. I disagree with alot more stuff though. I just kept to convenience and the things I liked of the old days and integrate them in the new ones :)
…if that even makes sense.

I wanna go back, bros..

>>12982
I'm still human, at least a little bit, so I do feel thankful for the past we have had together and the moments that shaped our being, but I don't miss it. I think that nostalgia is a lousy liar, it tries to keep you stuck in an imagined past festering so that you can't change and shape your present. Too many people are afraid of change, but change is what makes life beautiful.

Instead of being stuck in regrets and a desire to return to what doesn't exist, maybe instead take that thankfulness and pay it forward? If you stay and act in the present then you can create new memories to be thankful for and enjoy - that spark joy. But if you stay in the past, then you'll miss the present. It's the present we ought to focus on. Let's shape a better future for ourselves as we keep changing, create new and even better memories!

All that you touch you change. All that you change it changes you.

I miss the media, art and the culture of the internet when I was younger, but outside of those I don't really look too fondly on those days. I've always been an outcast in real life and was alone for the most part, probably why I spent so much time online. And online used to be a much better place before social media's rise to prominence. I think what I miss most is old youtube, it used to be the place to find new things, especially videos of people doing fun, exciting things. Monetization of the platform over time eroded it heavily, to the point where all that is left that succeeds on the platform is clickbait, videos about drama, and video essays about things instead of the video being the thing, if that makes sense. I hate youtube "content creators" with a burning passion, especially their incessant whining about how youtube doesn't treat them right when in reality they deserve much less for ruining the platform. Although it can probably be argued that the fault lies with how youtube itself operates too.

I don't because it feels like every new year I just hate myself from the previous year, and I'm glad I can sorta grow as time goes on.

When I was a kid, I didn't really like life. Same as a teenager and now. Still, I like life a lot more since I can go places, go on vacation, learn, etc. I kind of miss the old internet, but the games nowadays are way better. I can literally watch any movie or tv show on the internet for free or read books for free, too. Youtube is pretty shit now, but it's given me a new resolve to tell people to spend their time in better ways. Like, I used to watch different animations or play games when I was a kid. No scrooling at all. I want to encourage that. The old days or gone, but the new days can be even better than the old days!

I do miss some stuff, but definitely not all of it.

yes and no
there was good times sure but the future me can do even better
>>18400
I get that

I do miss it sometimes, but that's just the nostalgia talking. Thankfully, things have been getting much better for me the past few years, so I don't have much to miss from back then.

Yes, sometimes. But the past is the past and I'm looking forward to the future

All the time. When I was younger and had so many opportunities but I wasted them all. When I had online hangouts and online friends, before every meme video was censored and wojak and pepe went mainstream (as stupid as that sounds).

A lot of other very painful stuff too. Now I literally have no online friends and no life. Never waste your chances sushis, if you don't take them you'll end up bitter like me with nothing but memories.

>>12982
Yes

A bit, I have to admit.
Was lucky enough to accidentally become part of a small circle of friends in my youth, met up for games & drinking nights, barbeque parties in the summer. Now people are busy, some don't want to meet others because of disagreements that never got solved, some moved away, others passed away.

I also miss the trend of companies making transparent plastic versions of game consoles so all the internals were visible, it was such vibes babeh.

>>22534
>> internals were visible
haha you to, was about to gcha but after a while i thought hmm

I don't really understand what you're saying but see pic related if you're confused

I miss the good days that haven't started yet. I know the world is capable of changing for the better, I just don't know how and when we'll get there. But its out of my control, but I have feeling that despite how worse things get, eventually they'll get better

I never liked that show but I remember that episode. I remember the chatroom for Dawson from the premier onward.

Ive never been a fan of nostalgia but something changed lately. It hasn't made me look back differently but I have decided on something I'm sad about. Im sad about the reality of 'the direction that shouldn't happen in the future back then' feeling more concrete than an abstract fear, in my present. I am not excited for the future, as people are realizing it is a lot easier to ignore the horrors of the world and focus on the parts of life that enable them to look forward to the next week. I don't like to imagine what the 2030s are going to be like, for… well anyone, in regards to basic human needs like housing and agriculture.
I'm trying to choose life. It's not always easy to die. So adapt and decide to move on. Some of the things that I have loved, have gained their own sadness. But the joy is still there, so it's not all lost. Maybe that's age. I still have so much I want to do, between things that I've either held off or just never decided to try, to brand new things I come scross. I hope adding new things will bring something more into my life, it usually works that way. I find it interesting how the popular nostalgia lens can give growth to communities, rather than disintegration. There's a lot to still enjoy out of today and look forward to. Remakes and updates to certain trends of the past can gain improvements while still being the things they were. For example I've had a renewed interest in making a '90s website for a personal blog. Some people never stopped, but it seems like a thing again since 2020.

I just want to have something in my life, or belong to something, that feels like it will be able to improve going forward. That's difficult currently. It's difficult to believe in something. But I don't want to dwell on the remembrance of things past. I want to be able to fondly remember my future.

And I miss you, bright old days…

>>12982
not really :)

my life truly feels like a journey that takes twists and turns but i feel like as i have gotten older life has only gotten better. I had a horrible time growing up with my family but now i'm 27, living with my friends, travelling constantly, have a pretty good job doing something I never thought I could do as a real job.

I'm always doing what I want and pushing myself to try new things even if it makes me scared and nervous, and sometimes that does backfire, but I think the times it does work is what makes my life feel so fulfilling.
