Nostalgia and Early Childhood

I do like this website. The embodiment of nostalgia. I have not lived enough in the 2000s to fully know what the internet was like, but the beauty of old or early websites and technology is just amazing. The first time as a little kid when I searched "cars" on google without even knowing what google is using the phone my Dad had back around the early 2010s I think (I don't remember the phone's model except it being Samsung and that it had a wide button at the bottom middle which was the home button), I was very mind blown that it literally showed me pictures of cars after typing "cars" on the search bar. And other than that, I only had a bulky Dell laptop with Windows XP as the OS and a PS2 console at around 2011 (Even an old console like the PS2 was too expensive in my country back then) and was too young to even know what the internet is. I basically took over the computer and the console when my older brother quit playing video games. When my brother was younger, my father would download pirated games and send it over his USB so that he brings it home to install them on the computer for my brother. I recall that the PS2 had Need for Speed: Hot pursuit 2 (Which I played too much of it when I was little at around 2015) And GTA: Sanandreas (Which I have no idea why my brother got the PS2 version while it was already on the old computer). Great times. I just seem to be wandering in the past too much on my recent nights which is not pretty great, but I really do miss and cherish them. Who wouldn't want to be an all innocent child again anyway. Early childhood honestly seems to be the best segment of life. When all of it was new and interesting and none of it was mundane. Even something as mundane as simply staring at a tree evoked strong feelings in me. Like nothing makes you feel intensively as the years just drag and pull you away from childhood. Just that phase of life in which everything felt big and all of it was foreign and the ownership of complete innocence, it was extremely special.
