Missing My Old View of the World

>be me 5 years ago >was 15 years old >had a sense of community and felt like i was part of one (high school) >experiences felt much more deep and amazing in a way i cannot describe >every few months felt like it was its own different era with a different vibe >the world was just more bright and amazing, it seemed ffw today >in college >no sense of community whatsoever >time has distorted itself so much (fuck you pandemic) such that it flies to fast >years feel the same as the last, with no growth or new stuff coming by >feel flat and superficial no matter what comes my way, feel like i became emotionally numb How do I restore my former psyche anons? I'd do just about anything to be able to enjoy life the way I used to be able to back in those days

A black-and-white distorted face appears beside an anonymous greentext post contrasting an emotionally vivid high-school past with the numb, repetitive experience of college after the pandemic. The joke is a bleak, relatable lament about nostalgia, lost community, and feeling emotionally numb as time speeds up. It is sent as a reaction to alienation, burnout, and the sense that adulthood has become flat and repetitive.
