    “I was much happier when someone else was responsible for me. Now everything and everyone else are the reasons I am sad. No one understands how important this is.”

      Yeah. A lot of nostalgia gets wrapped up in not having responsibility and the cultural markers around that time.

      They didn’t claim no one else understands. Yes, it is because someone else was responsible, but the fact remains in the moment people who are so blessed lack the life experience to recognize the awesomeness of the state of things, resulting in “youth is wasted on the young”
