mid-2000’s vibes, 8.22.25

i went to eat at wendy’s tonight by my house. i sat and ate and it felt like i was back in 2008. also, when i arrived, there were two additional tables with people eating inside. i feel like i’ve written it before, but i’ll write it again: i miss the days when people would eat inside fast food restaurants. it’s so fire. sure, at other restaurants they serve you, but honestly, i don’t like being served. i like to get up, walk around, get the things i need when i want them. with a place like wendy’s, i can get up and get ketchup when i need it, napkins, refill my drink, etc., etc. the lady who took my order came up to me and said she like the crocs i was wearing. she asks if they’re comfortable and i tell her absolutely, all i wear are crocs whether it be to work, to the gym, or on a walk. i finish my meal and began to head home. as soon as i walked out the door, it was 2025 again and i began to miss the nostalgia.

i gotta come back, not only for the food, but for the vibes.
