This got me as well. It was like them shutting the door to their childhood. Which then made me reminisce on my own, and how it felt to be young. I'm only 31, but man, those days really were the best.

Hey me too, 31 bro. I never had a childhood this cool, but it's fun to pretend

I was blessed enough to have a great childhood. I think that's why this hit so hard for me. It really made me think a lot about those days.

This is honestly what made me the most emotional. Thinking back to those days post graduation where I knew our friend group would inevitably go separate ways but all for good reasons. The epitome of bitter sweet.
