Why doesn’t Anyone have any fun anymore?
Hello beautiful women!!!
Why tf aren’t we having fun anymore?
I understand the days of going out to the club and mindlessly drinking tequila until the sun comes up isn’t part of that “clean girl,” “lover girl” lifestyle, but seriously? Why isn’t it if we’re doing it with balance?
Recently my dad was talking about the good ole’ days and he had the gaw to say, “it sucks for this new generation, they missed it all.” what do you mean we missed it all?? And I thought about it. Lowkey, it does feel like we missed it. We missed Kiss, bonfire parties with keg stands, leaving a message on my answering machine, bell bottoms and daisy dukes, doing crazy shit in the mud because there was nothing else better to do, $5 rent, real delta 🍃 being sold in the street, wars being protested on the streets, presidents we actually liked, and traveling to other countries without fear of the boarder closing behind us. But is it because those things just don’t happen anymore or is it because we given up that lifestyle with fear of judgement from not being “responsible” with our health?
I just think back to Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex And The City, Miss Carrie Bradshaw had a freaking 8 pack while sipping on cosmos and staying out with the gays till past 3am. Even her, sitting in her long sought for marriage at 55, never stopped making friends, enjoying the club scene, and going out of her way to disrupt her routine to keep her life fresh and interesting. Fuck, I know it’s a show, but someone had to have been the muse for the development of her character. And even if shes a TV character, i still wanna be like her.
Let me come back to that health statement. Since Covid, everyone seems to have been overly cautious about their health. And I mean, I get it because our govt regulated food, water, and air is poison; but where is the balance in it? Why isn’t anyone having fun anymore even if they’re looking after their health? I’ve taken note of what foods are healthy enough for my body and I’ve changed a lot of my lifestyle to accommodate for how badly our consumable goods are, I’ve attempted to separate myself from the media and have healthy consumption habits with products, I have a minimalists home, but the things I can’t get past and let go of is going out to the bars for drinks, seeing my favorite artists in concert, traveling the world, smoking 🍃, drinking alcohol, etc. And that’s not a bad thing, they’re not bad habits….Regardless of relationship status or how terrible and toxic the world is.
are you still having fun? Are you scared to have fun? Do you avoid going outside? Do you avoid meeting new people? I’m curious. Give me your thoughts!!!

In a post-pandemic world, many have adopted a more cautious approach towards fun and social activities. This shift often leads to feelings of isolation and fear of judgment, particularly regarding lifestyle choices like drinking, partying, and socializing. Nostalgia plays a significant role, with many yearning for the wild, carefree days of youth, reminiscent of times filled with parties and adventures. Cultural icons like Carrie Bradshaw from 'Sex and the City' continue to inspire, portraying a life full of excitement despite contemporary challenges. Balancing a healthy lifestyle while seeking joy can be complex, and it's crucial to recognize that it’s possible to have fun responsibly. Engaging in activities that foster connection and joy is essential for mental well-being. By acknowledging these feelings and experiences, we can begin to rediscover the balance between health and fun, encouraging open conversations about our fears and desires for social engagement. How can we shift our mindset and embrace fun without compromising our health? It requires a cultural shift back towards joyful living and finding spaces where we can connect meaningfully with others, despite the temptations of a health-obsessed society.
Social media is honestly a poison on our society. We will never have what our parents have because we have what they didn’t, and I believe their adolescence was better for it. I also can’t afford to do anything BESIDES barely taking care of myself. We live in a VERY different world than our parents and I wish we didn’t
