Nostalgia Ramble

I don't know why but I have this very intense nostalgia for the pre-internet time, or at least the pre-2010's when I feeling like the internet really became the internet and things like phone addiction are common. I think it also has to do with some idea of stability(politically and financially) because while I was alive during the 2008 crash I was also young enough to not really remember it(and I think I actually went to Disney world that year for my birthday). Along with politically there seemed to be some understanding that both parties could come together even if they had different ideas that seems to just not exist now.

My nostalgia kinda get weird because I have it for periods of times where discrimination against communities i'm apart of was rampant, like the 1950's and 1970's. I know If I lived during those times that as a gay hispanic woman I would've had a life that wouldn't bring me joy, I would've had to marry a man and have kids with him, college might not be something I could go to, wanting a masters and doctorate would've been something unattainable, and if I did want to live my life as a lesbian I would have to basically start a new life and hope for the best. Still there's apart of me that wants to live in those time periods and I don't know it if it's because of the perceived stability, the lack of things like phone addiction or the lies that advertising companies have sold of the past that make it seem simple.
