1980 here. Why did we all have an irrational fear of quicksand? Where did that come from?

You only had to say one name to scare the shi* out of Gen X as children- Adam Walsh.

‘74 here. 09/11 changed everything for me. Less safe. Less secure as an American. First real understanding just how much the US was hated by the Middle East. But what also came out of that day was the absolute feeling of true patriotism. Love for your neighbor and other Americans was so strong. Too bad those feelings aren’t the same anymore.

1979 🙋🏾♀️Baby, I was a FULL adult by 5 years old!! 😂 By 6th grade, I had perfected my mother’s signature, and by high school, I was handling ALL my own school forms! 🤣 I landed my first corporate job at 19, and by 21, when 9/11 happened, I was already deep into adulthood. And BABY, I’M TIRED!! 😩 At 47, I don’t want to do NOTHING! But here’s the crazy part… my mind wants to rest, but my body doesn’t know HOW. I’ve spent so much of my life in survival and responsibility mode that I’m literally having to retrain myself to just BE. 🥺💜
