[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The 70s were the best in terms of culture and because it was my birth to 10 years old decade, it was the time of my greatest innocence[/b] and particularly because it was the only time of my life I was free of the male gaze - although not free of molestation by males, sadly.

[b]The 90s were my favorite decade because I spent the entirety of them in college, graduate school and law school and it was the greatest time of self growth and coming into my own in the midst of the last truly hopeful time in this country.[/b]

[b]I feel that post 9/11 America, while not American carnage, has never felt as hopeful as 1970s/80s/90s America and I’m not sure it ever will, for me anyway. I also feel strongly that overall the advent of widespread internet use and then the rise of social media has diminished the human experience more than it has enhanced it.[/b][/quote]

Are you me (bolded)?

90's were great because met DH. 00's were great because of DCs. Greatly miss the world as it was before '01, however, and wish DCs could know what it was like, in a way.  The best part about adulting (00's on) is you can pick out real friends vs. fake friends; and the few insecure, vindictive (and potentially dangerous) people vs. the many normal people. When you are younger, you tend think everyone has good intentions (and more people seemed to have good intentions then).  When you are adulting, you learn to listen to your parent's wisdom far more.
