If you’re anything like us, there will be moments throughout your life when you get lost in your memories and genuinely forget how old you are. Sometimes, all it can take for you to get lost in thoughts about the Good Old Days is a glance at some retro decor, tech, or toys. When you snap out of your nostalgic daydreams, it can be a bit jarring to find yourself much further into the future than you thought you were. It’s hard to embrace the fact that you’re getting older… though we prefer calling it ‘leveling up.’
