I know how easy it is to romanticize the past, even more so if you feel like you were born out of your time, or perhaps, feeling like there was an integral part of human history that you missed out on. And while I truly, truly find myself astonished by those who made it through the 80's and 90's and aren't completely broken by it (I feel my heart would not have been capable of handling the immense loss), I can't help but feel that the sense of brotherhood is different from whatever we call it today. Something exists between two men undercover trying to find sex, but also, seeking out friendship, vs. today where it's just... sex. You might as well have a filter for "eye contact allowed". anyways, rambling. thanks for all the sharing folks. im feeling very...not sure, actually. but, thank you.
