‘That Friday afternoon after school feeling, when you knew you had two glorious days before you had any responsibility again, so you’d call your friends on the land line and hope their parents didn’t pick up so it wouldn’t be awkward, and you’d get together and just … Go outside.
‘That was it. There was no plan, but maybe somebody would bring a football, and you’d have a pickup game at the park.’

‘I honestly miss the internet from the 90s … I spent so many hours exploring, reading things…. every webpage felt like I was visiting someone’s house, they were so personal as design standards did not exist yet. I enjoyed my netscape navigator.’

‘Building cubby houses, playing in the creek, rollerblading, then coming home and playing Sega/Nintendo. I miss taping stuff off the tv 🤷🏻♀️ hanging out in my room , still playing with toys, reading cool magazines, going through my card collections. The hype of the cinema back in the 90’s.

‘We didn’t live online yet. The internet was in it’s infancy and was a fun way to pass the time, but it hadn’t consumed us. Business was still being done in brick and mortar stores, our social lives were offline, etc.
‘There was almost nothing to be purchased online, other than the online bookstore called Amazon. Pretty cool because they had a bigger inventory than you could fit in a building. And so it began.’

‘Air travel. Holy shit, I miss ’90s air travel. Did you know that before 9/11, it wasn’t a massive pain in the ass to go fucking anywhere?!
‘Loved ones could walk you right to the gate. You could bring snacks, sandwiches, and drinks onto the plane with you. The prices at Hudson News were perfectly reasonable, because if they weren’t, you could just walk out of the terminal and grab something.
‘You never had to take your shoes off for any motherfucking thing. In fact, it used to be rude to take your shoes off in the airport. That’s completely 180’d.
‘I used to fly 3 or 4 times a year, and it was usually pretty easy. Now, I fly maybe once every five years, and I absolutely dread it.’
