A grainy, low-resolution image of a person sitting at a desk using an old desktop computer with a CRT monitor. They are wearing a loose-fitting t-shirt and light-colored pants, with headphones on their head. They look toward the camera with a slight smile. The desk is cluttered with various items, including a keyboard and other computer peripherals. A lamp with a tilted shade stands in the background. The image appears to be a photograph of a screen displaying a paused video, as indicated by visible scan lines and distortions.

A person taking a selfie in an elevator, holding a smartphone with both hands. They have a shaved head with vibrant blue hair on top and wear large, over-ear headphones, distinctive cat-eye glasses, and a bright blue scarf. Their nails are painted blue, matching their hair and scarf. They are dressed in a black denim jacket over a black top and a long skirt with a striped pattern. An orange backpack is visible on their shoulders. The elevator's metallic walls reflect the lighting, creating a sleek, modern background. This is the same person as in the previous photo, approximately 30 years later.

Here's sad, shy me in 1995 writing a diary post for my online journal (yes, really) on my Packard Bell computer. For context, here's also me from yesterday, rocking EVERYTHING. GOD I LOVE GETTING OLDER.
