I miss not experiencing the pressure to be always available. To always respond.

If you were out of the house and someone wanted you they waited until you got home. If it was a true emergency, they could figure out the phone number to wherever you were, maybe, but short of that? You wouldn't be bothered.

There was also a level of spontaneity I miss where you might drive looking for a place to eat and just stop at the first place that looked good. Or you were going somewhere specific but you just drive to the general area and look for a sign.

I delivered pizza using a map of my city and I got real familiar with how roads worked.

    It was so much easier to keep friendships. Holy fuck. The amount of people who get upset if you don't text back within a few hours is insane. And it just keeps going forever - like a never ending game of tag.

    I'd rather be lonely. God damn.
