"the last summer i was truly naive and happy before it all came crashing down and I got taller" (mostly early aughts divorced dad rock because nostalgia)
"anachronistic shrek soundtrack considerations" (it's exactly what it sounds like - what modernish songs would be on a 2024 Shrek soundtrack)
and
"grocery store shimmy" (just light songs from the 80's and 90's that give me grocery store vibes)

things were easier (because i was a kid) but it seemed so simple. where are all the frozen yogurt restaurants? why donโt people have cds anymore? bring back limewire and online chat blogs and weird websites and silly graphic t-shirts and chunky sneakers and twee and hipster styles. i miss collegehumor and buzzfeed. but i bring the nostalgia for myself back every day by dressing like i stepped out of a rhett and link music video and listening to modest mouse and metric and the yeah yeah yeahs. i love my digital camera and my dvds and volunteering at my university radio station.

obsessed with how washed out the vocals are, reminds me of reblogging some sad quotes on tumblr as the site was dying (good times)

This feels like the platform I imagined the cool girls would post on when I was 10 years old. They always wore hoop earrings, had an extensive CD and perfume collection and were the kindest people you would ever meet.
2025 always sounded so futuristic but I feel like I am back in the 2010s again.
As i try to disconnect from social media more and be more mindful of how and what media i consume, i chase this feeling from my childhood. Wasting my Saturdays behind the family computer and going down a Youtube rabbit hole, blasting music from my CD player and trying to text on my Nokia phone (by having to press a button three times to get one letter.) Is it the innocence i miss because i didn't have a clue about attachment styles in relationships or the imposter syndrome i get when i go on LinkedIn? I don't know. But since the beginning of 2025 I have noticed once more, I am still 10-year old Sara:
I have been listening to Avicii again, since his new documentary came out at the beginning of this year. I am always on the hunt for 2000s Guess kitten heels and handbags on Vinted and Vestiaire. Watching Lamine Yamal play reminds me of the creativity that Brazilian Football represents and the joy i had when watching them compete in the World Cup in 2014.
There is this quote i love, which talks about you being a mosaic of the people you've ever loved and how they impact you in different ways. As much as I am a product of the people in my life i am also a product of my time. As a 2002 baby I do miss the simplicity of social media, post recession pop and my daily workout being completed on Wii Sports. As nostalgic as I am, i can't wait for what this year has in store.

I just wanna be a lil guy living in a cottagecore world, sipping from a thimble. Instead, I must "complete sprints" and "log time" on a screen all day.
Alas, the yearning continues.

When I was a younger, I never liked "Megan", it didn't feel like it fit me. Whenever I went someplace new where people wouldn't have to know me for a long time, I tried out different names for myself to see what would fit, but nothing else really did. As an adult, I finally feel like Megan/Meg is right. I've come to appreciate the ways my friends have shaped it and made it their own little codeword for me, like Mego, Mango, even my username Meggle came from friends. I finally feel at home in Megan, it just took me a bit of time.
