I hate the 2016 trend and I might just convince you to hate

I hate the 2016 trend and I might just convince you to hate it too 😭 writing this emergency caption for this unplanned video at 2:36am, in my bed, out of my hotel room in Boston, though posting it later because I needed to sleep on it. BECAUSE WHAT THE HECK YOU GUYS WANNA BRING BACK 2016 WHY urgh “simpler times!”…seeing the palm trees and younger photos of y’all is sending me 💀 and making me sad but what is the difference between 2016 and now? because nothing is stopping us from taking photos of palm trees and posting it on our stories today. but we never look up at the palm trees anymore because we are stuck on our phones most of the time. so we don’t always notice the palms. which is again why I love writing these captions because they stop your scroll. watching 20 videos IN ONE SITTING IS NOT NORMAL FOR OUR BRAIN. and watching 20 reels in one sitting would quite literally еnd a Victorian child. and we need to break the cycle and save ourselves, because our needs are not so different from the needs of Victorian children. and do not get me started on getting stuck in the nеws cycle too we are not supposed to be watching the news so much and seeing everything that is happening everywhere and somehow try and relate to it.. there were almost no nеws on IG in 2016. anyway, 2016 can be 2026 but what a disappointing way to think about 2026. how sad for 2026, to only ever have a potential to be as good as 2016 but not top it. that is so messed up YOU GUYS STOP IT! we can have a better year than 2016, if we wake up and choose to be happy. life is a gift, life is happiness and pursuing happiness is our greatest goal and meaning in life. most important of all, happiness is a choice that requires effort. and every minute can be an eternity of happiness if you decide it. sources: - Notes from the Underground, F.
