[notes] today's insight.

every generation has their own urge to say "dasar, anak jaman sekarang!"
however, when they did, i couldn't help thinking,
"oh, they never really be that 'anak jaman sekarang' on their ages back then...
...or maybe they did (of course everybody did). they just now choose pretending to forget about that.
since that might be one painful memory they don't want to keep."

well, i used to be that 'anak jaman sekarang' back then,
whether i like it or not, though.
so now whenever possible, i avoid saying such things.

let's just give room to changes,
just like what the universe had always done for us,
whether we noted it, or not.

or, it's just that after one or two generations it got bored saying such :
"dasar anak jaman sekarang!"
and thus, accepted the fact that every generations actually speaks different "todays".

ya kan yang ngomong 'dasar, anak jaman sekarang' itu bukan 'anak jaman sekarang', mbak, melainkan anak pada jamannya karena mungkin di jaman sekarang udah bukan anak-anak lagi gitu ;p

i like that i've ever been 'anak jaman sekarang' pada jaman saya, dan kalo saya kadang dlm komentar 'dasar, anak jaman sekarang'-nya terbersit rasa iri karena mereka masih bisa jadi 'anak jaman sekarang'. Lucu-lucu kan 'anak jaman sekarang' teh, di jaman manapun. hehe

aduh kok sy pusing baca komentar sendiri ya :)))

iya pastinya Fa, kan gak mungkin komentar "dasar anak jaman sekarang" pas dia masih anak2 :p

sebenernya kalo konteksnya buat lucu2an nostalgia aja ya gakpapa sih, cuma yang sering terdengar sayangnya justru yang konotasinya menjurus negatif & cenderung men-generalisir "anak jaman sekarang" itu, padahal "anak jaman sekarang" itu kan lucu-lucu (pada masanya masing-masing) dan gak bisa disamakan satu sama lain *halah*

tenang Fa,ketangkep kok komentarnya (tapi tadi pake ikutan pusing dulu) ;)
