If there’s one truism we can all agree on, it’s that times change, and as you get older, that truth becomes clearer and clearer. Things that were once commonplace have disappeared, norms and expectations have shifted, technology has fundamentally changed how we live and work, and time just keeps ticking on.
That’s not a bad thing, necessarily. Progress is progress, change can be good, and we shouldn’t expect an ever-evolving humanity in an ever-changing world to stay the same. At the same time, it’s easy to have nostalgia for the good old days, and some part of those days are worth thinking of fondly.
