I think the interesting thing about eras is how we define them. in a lot of cases, many of things inside our most definitive eras still exist, even if it doesn’t look the same as it once did. We’re just not with them as much as we once were. We’ve left the eras, rather than the era leaving us. And so it feels much more devastating when there is an external era-ending force, like that coffee shop closing or a sociopathic man with too much money and no ability to take a joke buys, or apparently run a business, and runs Twitter in to the ground.

Really loved this nostalgic, heartfelt post. Here’s to whatever era this is, and seeing you in all the next ones to come, friend. ♥️

Love all of this. Change is really hard, and this really puts into perspective part of why that is! The HONY post also reminds me of that episode from the last season of The Office, where Andy says, "I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them." (Say what you will about the later seasons but there are absolutely some worthwhile moments to be had)
