I keep flashing back to a decade ago, when I was just about to start my second year of college. It's strange to think that world doesn't really exist anymore. Or at least, I don't feel like it does. Whenever I go back to play games I remember playing at the time, it feels like I'm looking at a museum piece, a relic from a time when gaming wasn't as demanding as it is today. Not just the games, so many things are gone. Some are still here, but even the stuff that's still here feels different. I miss the feeling that I knew who I was. Somedays I look in the mirror and I feel like a stranger. So much of my pre-pandemic life is gone, and I don't know what to replace it with.
