Everything is so uptight these days. I grew up in the 1970s and was a young man in the 1980s and it was so much more chill than today. Maybe people were busier because they actually had to go someplace to be at a job. Jobs weren't scarce either and people could still live the American Dream of having a high school diploma, finding a job and working one's way up to being an executive in that company.
Back then, people had actual friends they saw in real life, as opposed to seeming them on video chat. A big group of people would get together and go to conerts for fun. And, they were fun. Of course, pick-up basketball, football and even baseball games were common. People liked to get out and do something to exercise. Now, exercise is curving to a place where people work out individually at home watching a television screen. I'm not knocking it, but it's not my thing.
Despite all of the changes that are going on with the culture today, the thing that does not change is that it is still awesome to wake up another day, have a nice family and a home I really love. In the end, the only constant is change, I guess.
