Weird Childhood

I've learned that growing up being born in 1989 put me in between multiple eras,where I grew up watching and playing video games and TV that had a mixture of cute and wholesome and why are you letting your kid watch or play that?😆 some things that I remember people have no idea what I'm talking about other people end up being very fascinated by what I show them whether it be TV or movies or video games it seems like I was always watching or playing the most obscure version of everything🤷

... Read moreGrowing up in the late 80s and 90s was an exceptional experience filled with quirky cartoons, enchanting movies, and groundbreaking video games that have since become cult classics. This era was marked by an intriguing blend of charming innocence and bizarre entertainment choices that many from subsequent generations have never experienced. Remember shows like 'Muppet Treasure Island' and the innovative creations of Jim Henson? These dear memories create a vivid tapestry of pop culture that defined much of childhood for those born in this era. The landscape of children's media was unique, leading to friendships and shared laughs. With the dawn of the internet, nostalgic moments are now shared more widely than ever; platforms like YouTube host countless retrospectives and analysis of iconic shows and games. For those who recall the excitement of a new PlayStation game or the adventure contained in 'A Goofy Movie,' these shared experiences continue to foster community. Moreover, today's resurgence of vintage media contributes to the growing '90s revival trend across various cultural domains, solidifying the 90s' legacy in today's society. People are beginning to recognize the creative ingenuity that characterized shows and games from that time, creating a renewed appreciation that sparks interest in understanding why these pieces remain timeless. As you navigate your own trip down memory lane, consider what aspects of your weird and wonderful childhood have stuck with you, shaping who you are today.

So many of us grew up carrying scars no one ever talked about. The ACE trauma test shows just how deeply childhood abuse, neglect, or chaos can shape our lives. But here’s the truth: your score does not define your future. Healing is possible. 💜 Every “yes” might represent pain, but it also repr
