yeah, cancel culture is toxic, but i moreso just miss what everything was, and how i now can't stop seeing everything now for what it is. i feel so cynical at times, and maybe it's just a natural consequence of these times we're living in, but i find it impossibly hard to approach something without a critical lense. i must analyse, and deeply, which often robs me of the joy i'd expected in my childhood. nothing's changed about the content itself when i revisit these classics, but i just can't enjoy it the same way i did.
it's kinda tragic, i used to binge watch old nostalgic content to squeeze every last bit of dopamine i could out of those sacred childhood memories, but now, nothing. it's like i got evicted from my childhood.
