I don't know what to write

I am writing though. I guess I could say what I'm doing right now. I'm watching these two guys do a run of Crash Bandicoot on PS1.

My childhood. They just said this game was extremely difficult. Yeah it was pretty hard but it was fun.

The boss fight against Ripper Roo could make you want to tear your hair out. If you're a 90s/naughts kid you may know.

I'm in between those two decades in my childhood. Like I remember the late 90s but I was six in 2000 so still a kid early in the naughts.

It was a very transitional time in the world. People were just starting to have at home computers then.

If you were born any later you were probably quartered off in your room while your parents were doing their own thing.

I don't know what I would do if I had a kid. Man I got my first flip phone when I was thirteen.

I can't even relate to this upcoming generation much at all. What was it like to have all of the world in your teeny tiny little toddler hands?

What would my kid's generation be named? Gen Beta? After Gen Alpha I mean.

I made myself laugh. That would be so stupid. There are hardly any kids trick or treating anymore, at least not in my neighborhood.

Last year there might have been ten kids. People are having less children now. Some people freak out about that and I don't know why.

More resources to go around the less mouths there are to feed I would think. Then again I'm no expert.

So anyway, I'm looking around my room. I still have quite a lot to sort through. So much stuff to list for sale.

I've crocheted three slouchy hats. That's a beanie that sort of hangs off your head. I'm selling those as well.

Am I doing any good in the world by selling handmade stuff? If you buy from me, I'd think that is one less purchase of an item made by exploitation.

Don't really know much about that. I guess I have the luxury to be uninformed.

I know that sweat shops are real. People are forced into confinement to work in horrible conditions.

I haven't seen it much up close. I swear I saw a video one time about this woman who was literally chained to her desk and forced to make something, shoes I think but I'm not entirely clear.

I think buying second hand cuts down on excess too. Piles and piles of clothing that I have hoarded for so long and never wore.

God I feel like a spoiled brat. On the other hand I actually had pretty bad hoarding tendencies that I have overcome with time.

I went from saving old newspapers and magazines, and even just paper with random things written out that weren't important, piled up all over the place.

The emotional attachment to things that I felt was very irrational and bizarre. If you were wondering if it's a possible thing to unlearn, it is.
