- We all have our opinions of this year and these are some of them.
Did you read What People Really Think of 2025: Part One? Because this is part two.
I was an adult back in 2015 (millennial here) and i gotta tell ya. it was STILL simpler. I know we all wear rose tinted glasses about the past, but it was real… Early 2000s was filled with war news, every parent was trying to get their kids on prescription drugs, and of course ‘08 which was fuckin shit. back then, in 2015 getting a job was pretty straightforward, many companies even still had paper applications. Gas was cheaper than covid. The lowest prices i’ve ever witnessed was below 1.50 and I only ever saw this pre- 2016. Movies started getting shitty in 2015, but there was still many good films coming out. Force Awakens was the first sign real creativity was going away. Forget covid, 2023, the year ai became a commonplace product is the year shit really started dying. I would do anything, to have pre 2023 again. Life was tough, but at least live people answered phones, scams didn’t blow up my phone yet, and Indeed wasn’t a total data dump. You could at least pay bills and chill in 2022.
To be real block the world out not in a toxic way but find some inner peace. We are bombared with so much negativity and distractions and irrelevant content it’s overstimulating and leaves us comparing ourselves to legit everything and questioning whether our life is good enough. Your having these thoughts already and will get way further ahead than majority of ppl who are going to get forever lost in the sauce. We live in the real world not the digital one there are good ppl are out and there is some sort of peace if you stop letting all the bad things
affect your mental. Wayyy easier said than done Im faking it til I make it. But yeah felt this real hard once I hit 21, lost a lot of ppl I That I realized weren’t rly benefiting my life and supporting the way I want to live. I was more or less the person ppl wanted to parry with and laugh at and I’m a smart person but never was rly taken seriously. A lot more quiet but I feel so much more in touch w myself 2 years later after choosing me over worry ab how ppl to perceive me. Only post to my private snap w my close friends. Don’t have TikTok. Don’t rly post on isnta anymore i keep saying that I’ll get back into it but if im already seeing it as a chore is it truly good for me?? Now I read a lot go on runs cook hike and am learning how to enjoy my own company.
The ecological collapse is what really gets to me, as I live in the desert already and after spending multiple summers with a constant severe heat warning, watching cacti die on mass and our groundwater literally evaporate beneath our feet I feel like I’m going insane. DOES NO ONE ELSE CARE? We are on the tipping point of an actual apocalypse and the news wants me to care about a Sidney Sweeney commercial like my fucking home isn’t actually fucking boiling itself. That’s not even mentioning our oceans becoming dangerously acidic, the eminent collapse of the Gulf stream, bleaching of reefs etc etc. Human led climate change isn’t some far off issue anymore. The best we can do is damage control and the actual problem polluters (corps) ain’t doing a fucking thing but squeezing us dry.
