anyway...
I often wonder how things would have / could have been different.
Thinking back to a time before the internet was such a big part of our daily lives really highlights how much easier life might have been with instant access to information. I can relate deeply to the feeling of wishing we had the tools to figure things out faster and avoid feeling lost. For example, when I was younger, making decisions about education or career paths often felt overwhelming, mainly because trusted advice or information wasn't readily available at our fingertips. Having the internet during those formative years could have meant discovering communities and resources that helped me feel less alone in those moments of uncertainty. I imagine how much more confident and 'put together' I might have felt as a result. Of course, hindsight is always clearer, but it's fascinating to reflect on how much easier so many challenges could have been tackled with access to online support, tutorials, and forums. These days, it’s common to find instant answers, educational videos, and motivational stories that inspire good choices. Looking back, I understand the sigh of wishing for those resources, yet I also appreciate the resilience and adaptability that came from navigating life without them. For anyone feeling lost or uncertain now, remember that while the internet offers a wealth of knowledge, growth and understanding often come from both struggle and discovery. Ultimately, it’s about how we use the tools available to us—whether modern or old-fashioned—to become the best versions of ourselves.
growing up i got a phone around 12 and wish i never did. I think social media is toxic to young people. Makes them think they have to look a certain way or act certain ways. It’s taken away a lot from kids. Kids no longer act like kids anymore, most act like little teenagers or adults and are missing some of the best years of their lives because they are too sucked into their phones and social media.
