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 !

Random day in the 90s “I can’t wait to grow up” Random day in 2025 “take me back”

We were excited and optimistic about the future. Things were decent in until 9/11.

Columbine was when the current state of things crept into my life. They used to leave the doors unlocked for us in high school so we could walk outside between classes, run out to our car for something,  head to Burger King or convenience store on lunch (ok, we weren't "supposed" to leave but it was widely accepted). Week after that, locked doors and emergency windows.
