Things I Miss

Within my life, there are some things that have gone away. One such thing is definitely movie stores. My favorite thing ever was when I would go to Hollywood and find a movie or video game I wanted to rent for the week. With the rise of online streaming, like Netflix and Amazon, that came to an end real fast. It feels like they all shut down in one day. I remember the last video store I went to was a small business. Showbiz. I think they closed down while I was still in middle school. Another thing I miss are VHS tapes. I just love the smell of opening up those plastic cartriges. I also love the vintage look of the movie on the TV. I don't know, it's nostalgic for me. I'm glad I can always experience that, since all I need is a working VHS. I still have some Season 1 Pokémon tapes hehe. One thing I wish I could have done longer was being a couple years old. It may seem awkward, but those were the best few years of my life, when I actually had an imagination. All that is thanks so Toy Story and Pokémon for the most part. Ah, the days where you could go have an adventure and all you needed to do was go under the fucking blanket. About 5 years after that, I would go outside and climb trees. These days, I just play Bethesda games because let's face it, it doesn't get much better than that. Now I can't say I miss being limited to certain things from back in the day, like VHS and 32-bit consoles. While those were all cool, I still enjoy my iPhone and 3.5 GHz computer haha. Maybe I could still climb trees. I'm just worried people will look at me weird...

Enjoy the things you have now before they come to a sudden painful end.
