So today I noticed that I spend an awful lot of time and energy talking about how good things use to be/how things are never quite as good or the same as they once were. 

I can’t tell if this is happening because i’m just old enough to notice subtle changes that one does not notice if they are younger (or just an unobservant person), or because things are actually getting worse. Or maybe things are always in a constant state of worsening from the moment they are born, like sitcoms and really good bands?

It just saddens me that I can’t tell which one it is. Am I a youth in a declining state of society and all that revolves around it, or is everything constantly declining and has been that way since the dawn of everything? 

Most things that I regard with the principal of not ‘being as good as they used to’ have to do with stores, products and consumerism, so maybe it’s just the economy, or just the shifting of trends. 

Just food for thought I guess.
