being born in the late 90′s is a really weird time because our coming of age is/was so tied into the expansion of personal technology? like for so many of us the transition from getting your first flip phone to smartphones wasn’t just a technology shift, it was part of growing up. and it created this really weird timeline where new technologies were being created right as we entered the right age market to use them, so now we all know intuitively how to use snapchat or the social context of emoji use or whatever but we can also remember childhoods spent (almost) entirely outside and offline. like you get all the disillusionment of the older millennial generation except now with the stress of spending your adolescence measuring yourself against others on social media and it’s really fucking confusing
“I loved you,
just like the
sun loves the
moon.
And you
needed me
like your
lungs need
oxygen.
But, I guess
at some point,
you learnt to
breathe on
your own.
And when you
left,
you took the sun
with you,
and left me in the
dark.”
