Born in the 80s

It dawned on me lately how old I actually am. I am ancient. I am a dinosaur. I am almost elderly. My youth has already passed me, and I am starting to feel my age. (Dramatic much? Maybe just a tad bit.)

I was in a car ride with my brother the other day, and we passed by an elementary school. He then brought up the fact that all of the elementary students there had to have been born in the 2000s, the kids in high school were born in the 90s, and that a lot of college kids are much younger than I am.

I was randomly listening Backstreet Boys a few hours ago when I realized that I bought their first album in 1997. That was 13 years ago (which is more than half of my life). They are still popular right?

I then decided to talk a walk down memory lane. I remember how yo-yo, pogs, and Tamagotchi were awesome during my youth . I remember waking up early in the morning and watching Bananas in Pajamas (What one earth was I thinking?!). Remember when Saturday morning cartoons was cool? It was the reason I woke up early on the weekends. My childhood was a time when I could eat a large quantity of candy without getting sick, and when cheeseburgers was my favorite food. I would rollerblade for hours around my neighborhood until I got hungry, and the biggest drama in my life was what I was going to eat for my next meal.

I am feeling a little bit old. People are starting to start their career. People are getting married, and soon they will start popping out babies. People know what they want. They know who they are, and here I am...

I never got the memo about being an adult. I'm still convinced that I'm 12. :)
