Is it possible to forgive the past and use those experiences to create a better present?

Do you think that you have lived a fulfilled life and even right now you are making the most of your 20s?

I feel like the older millennials got to enjoy their twenties without worrying about being "old" now it's like everywhere I turn I'm being called an old head. Half of my 20s were spent in lockdown and now we're finally out and I'm supposed to accept that I'm no longer young??? I still feel young af. For example, my cousin is an older millennial she's 38 and still looks and acts young, I didn't grow up telling her she was old, if anything I couldn't wait til I was her age to be out of my parents house and settled in my career. Maybe I'm just being sensi but I just got told I'm too old for Instagram in some tik tok comments. Like, how tf am I too old for an app that I've been using since HS.

So, I've kinda been thinking about this for a while.

So I'm 1996 and he's 1998. By definition, I'm the last of the Millennials and he's one of the earliest of Gen Z but we share a lot of stuff alike that this definition doesn't fit us too well. But Zillennial makes sense with us on the cusp of Millenial and Gen Z.

Our parents did home videos of us on VHS, watched DBZ on VHS, really good memories of the old shows like SpongeBob and Dexter's Laboratory on TV. I remember getting in trouble for going on the Internet because of dial-up so my parents couldn't even call. At home or even at school, Internet was slow. The PS2, Gameboy Advance, even our mom's old SNES were our childhood consoles. Don't remember 9/11 at all. Good memories of going down the street to hang out with friends as we rode on bicycles.

But as I got to middle and high school, things changed. Remember my dad get laid off due to the Recession and remember seeing Obama get inaugurated while in class. By middle of high school, my house got wi-fi and I got my first laptop. Social media like Facebook began to kick off. We were blown away by the PS3, Wii, and Nintendo DS because of the tech evolution. When I graduated and went to college, I got my first smartphone in 2014.

It makes too much sense, to me at least. Me and my brother were in the twilight years of old tech before the new stuff came out which really shaped our late childhood to late teens. Flipphone to smartphone was such a big change. Going from the old consoles to new consoles with better graphics was all the talk in our classes. Even my class had some weird mix of 90s and 2000s style up to high school. "Class of 2014" was shouted a lot leading to graduation and spirits were high. It felt like the last hurrah of the last of the 90s kids before we all went our seperate ways.

Anyone here feel that? Because the way you all describe Zillennial is the perfect moniker for me(and my brother in a way).

I was planning on taking a trip to London in the summer of 2020 and was saving up money starting in the fall of 2019. I decided not to go when it looked like Covid was going to ravage the United States for a while

I loved that show when I was 10 to 13 but I rarely see people talking about that show online. In fact I didn't really see it mentioned ever in terms of 2000s nostalgia. People are always talking about Zoey 101, Drake and Josh and Icarly (I loved those shows too) but never about Unfabulous. So I'm curious, do you remember that show?

I’ve only been professionally working for 3 years and I’m burnt out worse than I’ve experienced before. How tf am I supposed to do this for another 50 years? Can the worker’s revolution come already? Lmao

Now, it's weird to have nostalgia for PS3/Xbox 360 when these consoles only became popular on early 2010's, seriously, I have never heard of someone having a PS3 around 2007-2009, but I guess I spent my childhood in Brazil where people used to play PlayStation 2 until 2011, and most americans have a more power purchase than most brazilians, so I wouldn't be surprised if someone born at same year as me saying that they had nostalgia for PS3/Xbox 360 during late childhood/pre-teen.

Was a PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 popular during 2007-2009? Because having these console back then was like buying a Ferrari in Brazil.

Edit: PlayStation 3 was released in Brazil in late 2010, not 2012. However, it only became popular around 2011-2012, before that PlayStation 2 was the king and Wii as well, although Wii was pretty much a console for high medium class.

Guitar Hero was my shit as a kid. It was one of the many games that brought younger millennials and older gen z together. Drop your favorite bop you played nonstop.

Mine has gotta be either lazy eye from GH: world tour or sweet child of mine from GH2

I feel like most Millennials don't really like Zillenials and Gen Z just because we didn't live in the 90s. Most millennials gatekeep late 90s, maybe 1995-1996 not sure. I think nostalgia thing is more toxic in US and Canada than other countries. When I mentioned my nostalgia for 2003-2010 in other community, people around my age (mid 20 through late 20) were very nice with me, even the older millennials. Now, I would be scary if I went to Millenial page and posted that I have nostalgia for PS2 and someone born before 97 ranting on me for no reason.

I’m just thinking about the fact that in a few years all 90s babies will be in their 30s and all 2000s babies will be in their 20s.

I was watching Easy A and thought about this. This is my experience

1. Cable was still popular
2. DVDs were still a common way to watch movies
3. Facebook was dominated by teens and young adults. As a personal story, a friend's mom got on Facebook that year and when he told us about, we were all in disbelief. I even said I didn't think parents knew what Facebook was
4. This is my personal experience but smartphones weren't as common place
5. People were dowloading music instead of streaming

When I say “boss”, I’m generally referring to supervisors, managers, etc.

Used to spend hours and hours there in the mid to late 2000s creating stories with other people. Such a fun place.

I usually turn the radio on if either I'm in a hurry or the car trip is short.

3 days. I was 22 at the time and got a job at a local Hawaiian fast food restaurant. First day was awful because they had more than the normal range of customers ordering food. Second day was somewhat better since I had a bit of fun getting to know the workers. But the third day was when the straw broke the camel’s back. The “supervisor” (if you could even call him that) spent all day criticizing my prep skills, insulting me for asking questions, said how I was so lazy for being so young, and so on. Normally, I tend to brush it off like it’s not a big deal. But this went on for FOUR HOURS STRAIGHT! I threw my work apron and quit on the spot. I was not going to ruin my summer vacation for a crappy job.

I can’t really blame off-cusp Gen Z for quitting without notice. They not only see that you can get fired immediately even for being the best worker, but that even the pay and benefits aren’t worth the mental exhaustion people often get if they’re burnt out.
