one of the wildest parts about aging for me has been watching what was, to live through, an isolating and hostile terra incognita, being tweely defanged to an aesthetic….. and in a way it’s flattering to see the arc of your own youth contribute specifically to this egregore of nostalgia…. but in another way it’s just so lonely. A little like i only ever become socially legible decades later, in echoes.
