The world was different. All year I've been thinking about this....our planet had a different "vibe". It sort of, disappeared around 05-07. There was this vibe, it's hard to explain, but think of it almost like a universal shift. Like a glitch in our matrix. Something you don't notice until it's gone. The lighting, the atmosphere and smells of the local arcades and movie theaters...the sun just hit the earth in a different way.. It was easier to enjoy the small things. The world wasn't perfect but it definitely felt more utopian than today.

Something about society today feels "off." I don't wanna blame it all on technology but things just don't sit well with me. Instant updates, instant camera, instant flashlight, instant movies, instant chatting, instant this, instant that.. a false sense of reality.. We were not made to live like this

Put down your phone even for 24 hours, go out in public and you'll see what I'm talking about here..you feel like the only human in a sea of zombie biological androids.

Anyways like I said life wasn't perfect back then but our universe felt more "chill"...more of a relaxed nature...not as much information overload.

Idk..maybe I just dwell on the past too much man...Like I said it's hard to explain but there was definitely this vibe or feeling in that time period that no longer exists
