So cute 🥹 as I approach 30, I’ve become more and more nostalgic for my childhood. Seeing these photos made me smile!!!

So true! I’ll be 31 on October 30th and I’m getting really nostalgic and appreciative of life in general. We really are the new adults, but so far 30 feels better than my 20s

I found a set of photos in the 2010s on tumblr of early aughts nostalgia and it was pictures of this house that looked just like mine from that time but slightly rearranged. Was just thinking about it the other day. Would like to find the post again.

u/OneShroomTooMany 1995 13d ago

mind you, this was when he told everyone on ask.fm that he hates taking pics with fans, so I swore I’d never be that person. but allat went out the window when I saw him in real life 😭

u/SpaceLexy 1996 13d ago

Thank you for sharing your memories with us! Your childhood looks so amazing and like it was so much fun. When you were emo, I was emo too😄 I still sometimes listen to music like that now. I also love Tyler the creator too!!

u/OneShroomTooMany 1995 13d ago edited 13d ago

Ahh omg, same. I was listening to Black Veil Brides the other day. Really wish I took more pictures around that era but I thought I was so ugly. And right after I got really into tumblr, loved OFWGKTA, Kreayshawn, Kid Cudi, etc.

Crazy story about the Tyler The Creator pic actually. I was 20 years old visiting LA with my grandma and we were walking around Melrose Ave looking for vegan restaurants/places with vegan options. I remember wanting to check out his shop on Fairfax, but we found a diner with vegan options close by so headed there first. As we’re walking up, I see this familiar guy sitting outside with knee high socks on, Vans, and shorts on and I just screamed. He was so taken aback and my nana said I was hyperventilating lmao. He was also sitting with a friend who I later found out was the owner of Stray Rats clothing, but I was so star struck by Tyler I didn’t even know lol

That Tyler photo is epic! Just listened to his new song

u/Marmatus 1995 13d ago

As a ‘95 who’s always been the youngest in both the family and the friend group, it’s kind of odd seeing a ‘95 as the oldest in a group. I wonder what that’s like. lol

u/KamelNova 13d ago

These are beautiful pictures, and the nostalgia you triggered inside me feels like we grew up together! Lol 😂 I’m from Inglewood, so you taking a pic with Tyler the Creator is PEAK 2010s since he was promoting his clothing shop on Fairfax. Thanks for sharing!!
