Time

Theaters aren't as cold or loud as they used to be. Summer doesn't exist, it just starts getting hot and then stops getting hot. The bite in the air during Christmas isn't there and the smell of the trees has faded. Snowglobes have lost their charm and don't encapsulate entire universes as they once did. When it does snow you're upset that you have to shovel and have a longer, colder commute to work where you'll sit in your cubicle remembering the joy of a snow day as a kid. It's silly to even call them friendships today because you don't share your deepest darkest secrets anymore. The infinite possibilities are now surrounded by boundaries and regrets. Music has lost a layer and texture you never knew was there. Movies that made your eyes wide and filled you with beautiful dreams are now less believable. Even silence isn't so quiet yet somehow it's even more isolating. And the tick tock of the clock beats just noticeably faster.
