The age gap is really only felt when we talk about the TV and movies we enjoyed in our youth. I yearn for the old days in the mid-90s before cell phones and the internet was much of a thing and the representation and plot of movies were much different than they are today: Empire Records, Seven, Good Will Hunting, Mallrats and Go are some of my favorite movies. Now everyday I find my DMs filled with 2 dozen TikToks from my partner, as well as a Snapchst streak thq5 has lasted for the better part of 2.5 years (we've only missed 2 days) and this is how she communicates with me on a daily basis.
I have spent the last 20 years living life as a 25 year old so we share some very common passions, namely staying out late at the club all night and experimenting with psychedelics. And both of us are committed to not having children and exploring an open relationship, so in these ways it is probably more fitting I have been able to find someone younger who falls in line with some more values of these younger generations. Right on the cusp btwn Gen X and millennial, I never felt like I fit in with the people and values of my generation, so I feel very lucky and blessed to have found a younger person to accept me for who I am.
