When I was a kid, I wanted to live in the future.

Now I'm here, I've changed my mind.

@Wildethingy

I didn't because 1984 was in the future, and it seemed scary.

But it turned out to be wildly understated.

@LALegault

@Wildethingy I partied like it was 1999...then I really didn't know what to do after that.
@Wildethingy @lisamelton youth is wasted in the young, isn’t it?

@Wildethingy Yeah, it's not what we were promised, is it?

Where's my jet pack????

@Wildethingy

When I was a child I frequently tried to unalive because I knew what the future would be.

Now that I have children I can't return this "gift", though I came close twice in 2021. Having to be strong for other people can be a nightmare.

I don't know how I can sustain this.

@Wildethingy As the great Yogi Berra once said, "The future ain't what it used to be."
