Imagine waking up in the 80s

Bananatropics26

Hey everyone imagine you woke up in 1986 in summer. You wake up and a nice relaxing 80s song is playing through your Sony radio cassette player. The beautiful yellow sun has filled the room. And you wake realising you live in the 80s a golden age for western civilization you realise that all the crazy stuff happening in 2025 was all a big crazy dream. So you wake up joyful ready to go for a walk. You leave your apartment and walk down the stairs which are clean and fresh smelling. Out on the street there are children playing with a ball. There is 2 men standing on a street corner smoking reefer. And a couple sit on a bench and talk. Interestingly every one looks very healthy and fit. There isn't an obese person or a drug addict in sight. The roads are newly paved and well maintained. Tower blocks built in the 60s and 70s litter the skyline. Pubs are busy and crowded and people are socialising and smiling. You walk down the street and a young man greets you and asks how you are? It's a lovely day! You wonder if you are dreaming as everything seems so alien.

  • An interesting time for me. 8 to 18.

    8. Dad made redundant. Not much money

    9. Emigrated to New Zealand. Such an outsider - speak funny.

    10. Move again. Starting all over again.

    10-18 Serial groups of different friends, but happy times too.

    Bigger picture: New Zealand becomes Nuclear Free, Homosexual Law Reform Act, up in the night seeing Halley's Comet, fall of the Berlin Wall, wondering if we're going to living 'The Day After'. 

    3 good things from that era:

    1. Feeling young and able to take on the world.

    2. Watching 'A Room with a View' on repeat.

    3. My first job working in an ice-cream parlour.

    So yes, happier, more carefree days for me. xx
