I'd much rather be called weird than a norm especially in this social disease platforms, normal for me was to kick a football about have no cares doing my homework at the morning table. Sadly them days are long gone everyone is stuck looking into their handheld deitys to make them feel a certain way. We had it good once that's all gone now.

We have tendency to glorify older times because we usually remember mostly good things.
But there is also a fair point in what you wrote.
It's not gone or lost by any means.
Live your life like you want and just be happy.
