i was like 6 years old, but that thing was my lifeline during long car trips. didnāt need wifi, itās little pen was attached with a cord so i never lost it, and i had one game which was akin to kidpix. i would just draw and color in the digital coloring pages it had for hours on end.

For some reason, we would only play this when visiting our grandparents, who only had one phone line so we could never use the computer when somebody was on or needed the phone. If you picked up the phone when we were on the Internet, the dreaded dial up tone blast in your ear.
This game is really simple, but we were obsessed with it. I donāt remember playing a lot of games on my own computer, but I was definitely a preteen that was lying in chatrooms.
My younger cousins also introduced me to Happy tree friendsā¦

kinda basic but truly what a fun game. I dabbled in a lot of those multiplayer websites when I was wayyy too young (parents didnāt care abt internet restriction; Iām the youngest child in my fam) but this was just the best. My brother and I used to wait until midnight on holidays to see what the drops would look like. Learned vaguely about sex and bullying and surfing, as much as the website allowed at least. My friend the other day sent me a meme that had a pic of the lighthouse and I felt genuine nostalgia. When it shut down, I dabbled in the legacy āmodā and have been thinking about getting back into it š¤ a trip down memory lane!

It just makes the dopamine not as easy to access. For example, swiping between posts takes forever compared to insta or tiktok, if i go out of the app for a minute, the post i was looking at will be gone so i have to dig to find it again, and i canāt seem to select and delete multiple words so i have to delete entire sentences individually which makes me more mindful about what iām typing. idk i just feel that this app is making me rediscover that good things are inconvenient some times and that thatās rewarding.

iāve spent most of my life searching for romantic love and thinking something was wrong with me because i never got it. i prayed even though iām not religious, i had a box filled with manifestations of the āperfectā guy under my pillow, i tried to go after guys i knew were meh because i thought u could make the love blossom, i did honey jar spells, i changed the way i looked, the way i spoke, my interests, i did EVERYTHING. this all resulted in a slew of horrendous situationships that tore down my self-esteem. after these, i definitely worked on myself and became much more confident and sure of myself, but still thought that a relationship would be the thing to make me truly happy. at 20, i had my first real boyfriend and he was āperfectā, or at least everything i thought i had ever wanted. he was attractive, tried to pay for everything, planned the most thoughtful dates, went out of his way to see me, was incredibly intelligent, kind, loyal, hardworking, took care of me when i was sick, and even respected the fact that iām entirely celibate (like what 20 y/o guy is ok w that??). i ended up breaking up with him after a few months because i realized that a relationship was not what i actually wanted or needed, it was just what i thought about 24/7. not saying this is you, but the steps i took after our breakup might help with your situation. diversify and expand your sources of happiness/love as no one source will make you feel truly fulfilled. i started by doing 4 things: something that expanded my mind, something that earned me money, something that fulfilled me creatively, and something that fed me spiritually. for me this was college classes, a job at a restaurant, painting, hanging out with the people that i love more often, and joining a bunch of clubs at my school. i think our society places so much emphasis on romantic love, but other types, especially the love i receive from my friends has been the most unconditional and satiating. lastly, (again not saying this is you, itās just a common reality) expecting one person to satisfy all of your need for love is not only dangerous for you (if they leave, youāll be crushed) but also unfair to them. maybe iām just yapping to yap, but i hope this was helpful.

I will create endless Pinterest boards with thousands of pins creating the aesthetic of lives I wished I lived down to the napkins in the house I want. Iāll curate playlists for these lives, read Fragrantica reviews to find a perfume that would match this persona, and write short stories about what their daily life would be. With all this time I could just be building those lives irl, but alas it wouldnāt be my vice now would it.
