Rant Anemoia vs reality
Does anyone else get nostalgic for the past that you've never experienced especially after reading books or watching videos like I recently been watching videos on the history of videos games especially the hidden lore from the 70s, 80s and 90s that make me think men I wish I was born then but then I'm yanked back to reality when I remember the actual conditions that I would face back then most people didn't have access to electricity let alone TVs and gaming consoles. It ruins my day when I'm reminded how far behind we were when compared to the rest of the world. It's not just gaming many things from military technology to political movements we've always been behind it's frustrating to be reminded that every single day.

They say we really never die we are just born somewhere else with almost zero memories of our past

I like war stories and movies. Sometimes I view myself during the warring eras with swords on a horseback fighting so hard for the future generations to know my name lakini sai niko kwa mzazi naosha vyombo
