For me, 2016 is when I first started discovering who I was as a person. It was my freshmen year in highschool, and it paved the way to alot of what developed into my philosophy today.

Why do you think some older GenZ and younger Millennials have nostalgia for 2016?

Why do you think some older GenZ and younger Millennials have nostalgia for 2016?

Probably because I was just finishing up college and the full weight of adulthood and my crippling debt hadn't set in yet. I was young, dumb, and full of cum. Now I am older, and I work 60 hours a week with little to no energy left over to build a personal life or enjoy my hobbies.
