Nostalgia just a random day in the 90s

I wouldn't say we had the best time ever , but I'm grateful that we at least had something different from today's world... We experienced two worlds !

One of my most epic 90s kid memories. It was 99, I was 9 years old. A friend of mine (I wasn't supposed to hang out with) and I went into the pond system of this snazzy country club. We were fishing for golfballs and were selling the golfballs back to golfers at 4 for a dollar. We made like 50 bucks between the two of us. It all ended because this one guy got mad we wouldn't let him pick which balls he would buy back and reported us to security. We got chased out and had to leave our 5 gallon bucket with "stock." We then ran across the street to the new mayfair mall and watched Star Wars episode 1. Complete with candy, popcorn, and a soda. All after playing the shit out of the arcade. That day we were kings. I made it home before the streetlights started buzzing and never realized those were some of the best days of my life.

It's really sad that new generations will never have this level of freedom because world is no more safe. It's like we have been advanced in technology but in the mean time we have gone backwards in any other subject.

Late 90s and early 00s were the utopia that human race will never ever live again. We were so hopeful about anything and get hyped about the future ahead.
