Hey Everyone!
I’m writing this post to update you on some news about Living in the Past.
I started this newsletter in May, 2022 because I wanted to have an outlet for the retro memories of a Generation X life that centred on a 1970s childhood. Those were good times, weren’t they? As were the 80s (can we say “big hair”) and the grungy 90s.
Things have changed oh, so much. Sometimes it’s hard to believe the way we’ve evolved as a society. Some changes are good, some bad, but all are interesting.
Anyway, I’ve had so much fun writing this newsletter, reminiscing about the past and engaging with so many of you about our shared memories of another time. So much fun that I’ve decided to spend even more time devoted to coalescing memories and turning them into content that I hope you’ll appreciate. I have so many story ideas, memories and more that I can’t wait to share with all of you. For this reason, I’ll be sending out more regular posts in addition to other content that will include both written posts, audio and video where appropriate.
In other words, I’m invested in this groovy platform where I can chill in the playground in my mind, engage with likeminded folks like me, and educate the young-uns who can’t believe the stuff we went through back in the day…and we survived!
