I saw a kid wearing the exact same band t-shirt I had in high school, the one I thought made me so cool, and it hit me: he probably thinks he's the first one to discover them. I wonder if the things I think are SO original right now are just echoes of some ancient feeling, some universal human experience I'm only NOW getting around to living. I used to pity my parents for their outdated views, now I realize I'm probably halfway there myself, shaking my fist at TikTok dances. It's not just music or clothes, is it? I probably rolled my eyes at my grandma's 'old-fashioned' marriage, and now some kid is looking at MY supposedly evolved relationship and thinking, 'Wow, they're still doing THAT?' God, I hope I'm not THAT out of touch already. Please tell me I'm not.
