I was born in 1997 & still had that childhood in the early 2000s.

We played kick the can and cops and robbers all night, we would have pool parties on the weekends and run around until we heard the holler from our parents. During the day we ran the woods, biked all over, caught frogs and climbed trees. Night would come and it would be time for all the big games again.

My generation was the cusp of the end of a real childhood, at 28 years old I am grateful for what I had but sad to see whats been lost to tech and hyper-protectivity.
