The best parties I ever went to were when I was in my early teens and my parents were in their late 40s. Massive bonfires, kids running all over playing hide and seek on 20 acres, adults and older teens with impromptu softball games, elaborate plays written to commemorate the party (not necessarily well written, but included wacky stunts!). Parents sneaking off to smoke weed and getting a little weird. The weather just right. Really all the parties I’ve been to as an adult have been a disappointment in comparison.
So I’m saying you still have time for some real good times. But yes, “post” covid my social life has dried up a bit too. Haven’t lost friends, but see them less, and all the not really friends that would just shoot me a text if they were at a bar in the neighborhood have stopped doing that. Just lost the habit I suppose.
- r00fus 4y agoI kinda remember these same kinds of parties at a similar age and honestly I don't think you need 20 acres for it either. Just a someone's backyard (or neighborhood) or a community center - I remember all of those fondly. I have a feeling this post-pandemic period will be uncertain for a while but will swing back into more social in a year or two.
