I feel I grew up in a different century than I live in. I think most of them are changes for the good.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When our culture shifts, it tends to overcorrect, throwing out everything associated with an era we've moved past, rather than saving what was good and combining it with what is new.
Most of my influences are turn-of-the-century.
I feel that we are currently living in a world that is similar to late '50s, early '60s kind of world.
There certainly have been a lot of changes, although they come in such gradations that most people have either forgotten, or, if they're too young, they never knew about them in the first place.
Change and renewal are themes in life, aren't they? We keep growing throughout life.
People change over the years, and that changes situations for good and for bad.
It's nice to know there are some things in early 21st-century post-industrial culture that don't change very fast. I am one of those.
I'm always changing. I still have the same morals and values and foundation of who I was, growing up in Jacksonville, FL, but I'm such a different person from who I was when I was 17. You live and you learn and you grow.
We now know how things were in the '60s and how things have changed, but I don't think we appreciate how much things have changed.
The one thing that I've learned is that people don't change. Each new generation has the same stuff that the last one did. It's one of those things where jazz kind of works in five-year cycles.
