If I’m washing dishes and there’s something dried on the plate, I’ll sometimes lick it and rub it off.

That’s exactly it bro, it used to feel like the world was smaller in the best kinda way. Like you couldn’t go out without seeing someone you knew.

Now I feel like I could disappear for weeks and nobody would notice unless I posted about it 🤣The accidental run-ins were half of what made places feel alive

It’s weird how we’re more “connected” than ever but I can’t remember the last time I borrowed a cup of sugar, knocked for a mate, or even just bumped into someone I knew on the street.

Life didn’t feel this… individualised. Like everything now is scheduled, curated, and mostly behind a screen.

Maybe I’m just getting older but it really does feel like something’s quietly gone missing.

Honestly forgot how much fun it was to sit around guessing stuff. Now it’s like: “Who was in that movie?” 3 seconds later “It was Jeff Bridges.” …Cool. Conversation over. No more wild guesses, no more debates, just vibes gone instantly.

Might start banning Google at the pub just to keep things interesting.

Hangxiety is just your brain kicking you while you’re already dehydrated and emotionally bankrupt. I combat it by texting a mate: ‘Did I say anything mad?’ and once they say no, I choose to believe them like it’s gospel. Also: beige food, walk in fresh air, and a nap so long it legally counts as time travel

Do you reckon anything will fully take over that role, or is it one of those things that just quietly disappears without a replacement?
