11 Nostalgic Memes to Take You Back to the Fun and Games

I was thinking wistfully the other day about how it seems like there was a time in my life that was truly all fun and games, where I just enjoyed myself all the time and fritted away at amusements.

Then I realized I was thinking this while literally in the middle of a multi-hour video gaming session.

This sparked another thought: what’s the difference? I guess the difference is that when I’m playing games these days, there’s a little voice in the back of my head constantly reminding me about all the things I need to be worried about. I miss a time when the fun was just uninterrupted fun.

Let’s try to rediscover a bit of that today with these memes, shall we?
