im not sure about anyone else, but the early 2000's were some of the best years of my life. i didn't have weird and scary thoughts and i was ignorant to the world around me. now i'm aware, and i dont like it. i want to go back to when i didn't know anything about anyone. to when i had people to talk to. i miss my old house. even the old things that were unsettling back then, i've started to miss. like the creaky floors and the old noises of the house settling during night time. now i just live alone and i barely go out. sure, it's nice. i prefer it to actually talking to the ignorant people around me, of course, but i miss when i wasn't worried about other people.

You say that you "... didn't have weird and scary thoughts and [you were] ignorant to the world around [you]." If you don't mind me asking, how old were you in the early 2000's? Because if you were particularly young during that time, it can feel like things were simpler because you had a simple view of the world. Sorry if my question is too personal.

i was particularly young at the time, which is why i think things were much simpler. your question wasn't too personal, don't worry.

I miss the technology from the early-mid 2000's (flip phones especially) as well as the cartoons from both the 90's and 2000's that aired on TV. Heck, I miss watching TV in general.
I was pretty young during that time period (I was born 2003) but I loved how simple things were. Touch screens and smart appliances weren't really a thing, websites had that good old-web jank to them. I could find weird and obscure flashgames by using the Internet Explore search and not having hundreds of paid and sponsored licensed games pop up in the results (RIP that one mermaid dress-up game I used to play that took up only 1/6 the webpage).
I don't mind knowing about all the crazy stuff happening around the world. Some of it's upsetting, but some of it also gives me hope for the future. I just wish things were more simple and "innovation" wasn't as pushed in the market. I want to be able to get a nice flip phone that isn't made for seniors or my cell service won't provide service for since it's 2G or 3G instead of 4G or 5G. I don't want to get a car in the future with a touch-screen and a hundred buttons and features I'll never use. I don't want computers and websites to be more "intuitive for users" but end up making things way too hard to find certain pages or settings.
I just wish things would be simple again. Cool and fun and with a variety. I don't want everything to be minimalist modern and all try to be the same thing. I want things to have an identity and visual interest again. Let someone buy a hot-pink or lime green or purple or blue or transparent device again!
