Liminal Spaces (2000’s Childhood)

Liminal spaces often create a sense of nostalgia triggered in your mind from early childhood memories mostly ranging from mid 90’s to early 2000’s. They can make you feel nostalgic yet utterly disturbed at any given time to any unnerving image.
To be in a Liminal Space means to be on the precipice of something new but not quite there yet.
liminal spaces are important because of their ability to construct their own values and ideologies relating to a particular time period in history and then to transpose these values to a time belonging to their own experiences

This makes me feel not only nostalgic but incredibly sad aswell. Like this is all that remains of my childhood, now just merely images permanently frozen in time. Images from a time in which I can never return. Images from a time that no longer exists except only in still images, videos and so on. It's like being intensely homesick for a home that is no longer there. This time will always be special to me and I will treasure it always 💗

[@ProdbyLamont]

Unsettling nostalgia I’d call it

[@kjek7414]

Why because of the scholastic book fair

[@theperfectburger9892]

It’s because liminal spaces are about trying to remind you of a memory that you don’t have. Sure at 0:15 you might have a fond memory of riding that horse or jumping on those couch seats, but we’re those seats always that blue? When was there a big lollipop toy in there? It’s all about Reminding you of those old fuzzy memories from childhood. Ones that you know but don’t understand. It makes you connect dots that don’t connect to begin with.

Watch Paranoia Agent, specifically the 2nd to last episode, and watch the part when he goes to the bar with the old man. Watch that sequence following him being in the "dream" to the end and you will shrug off your depression. Can't you hear the birds singing from the park bench?

[@wishbonefan]

Something about these images perfectly encapsulate what it's like to be a kid, specifically around like 4 or 5 years old. There's like a bit of enthusiasm and cheerfulness but also a sense of unknown and fear. Plus I feel like these are the kinds of places that you'd think about a lot as a child, for one reason or another, maybe because it brought a really happy feeling, or made you scared or sometimes just because it's interesting to you.

[@PunmasterSTP]

It's been a fun experience taking my kids to places like this, knowing that in the back of their minds they'll make similar memories. It can be an interesting age to live through, and an interesting age to see others living through.

[@MMSkittles-zw7zn]

@@andywest5773 That's true, but I'm too old to go to the playplaces that are shown here, so that's why it's nostalgic to me. Besides, right now my life isn't good, I'm suicidal plus I have non-supportive parents and a rude brother who didn't care when I told them (after struggling to tell them--It was hard to admit) that I have suicidal thoughts and I want to kill myself. On top of that, 3 years ago, my mom told me (on an leisurely evening walk---She wasn't mad and didn't blurt these words out) that "I wouldn't really care if you died. I have another child and I could just make another. Your brother is a lot more liked and popular than you and nobody at school even likes you, let alone wants to be your friend. I wouldn't even be DEVASTATED if you died. You're stupid anyway." Yup, those are her exact words. I never forgot, even after 3 years. Remembered the insults word for word. I even remember every insult my father and the internet gave me. I don't even have other family members to support me because none of them like me. I don't have friends to support me because I have never known how to socialize--I am socially awkward and shy, yet I want to make friends. And even then, I avoid people. I'd rather forget my memories from my teen years starting 3 months into being 13. (Also, sorry for over sharing, I've been doing that a lot when I type ever since I was 13)

[@sammysappy]

We're not even old like that, but it's just the fact that the feeling of us feeling like we were the center of society and had massive importance is so long gone that it makes us feel old. I still remember walking around at 8 years old thinking everything in 2008 was designed to appeal to kids... It was a great time to grow up, still filled with lots of imagination, creativity, and genuine uniqueness. It's so sad to think about the peers I grew up with that I believed had so much potential just being another one in millions of people... That feeling of losing the people who were main characters in your life to the totality of the human race is... depressing. It really washes away any sense of us having potential to affect this world... Leaving many of us to wander around as adults living depressed lives thinking back on the days that we felt like we used to matter... Even though we're no longer children, we can still feel like we're making an impact by focusing on what we really love and turning that to art. Thru any kind of art, this feeling of pent up frustration and reminiscing on the past can be turned to something everyone can understand and maybe even relate to. I do believe this is what led the person that uploaded this video to create it. Cheers.

[@YouveBeenMegged]

These are absolutely the kind of places that, if you wander the halls long enough, you’ll eventually encounter an old childhood friend of yours who you eventually lost touch with. You’ll chat for a while, reminisce. Then, you’ll get the feeling it’s time to leave, to put these memories back in their box. You get home, and decide to look up the friend you met there on social media, to stay in touch… only to discover that they died years ago, not long after you lost contact. Is this weirdly specific? Yes. Did I come up with it just now? Also yes.

Liminal Spaces embody and emanate the benevolence of their exalted designers, having done everything they could to bring fiction into reality for their young; for us. No matter the era, those carefree architects, two generations before us, have always sought to embellish every inch of our formerly boundless scenery with that love. It’s pure but unknowing, and the act of observing it is nostalgia jouissance. Look for the game “Higher Philosophy: Structure” in 2027 for the whole picture.

Im sad, because I feel like I grew up way too fast, but at the same time, I feel wonderful, because I got to experience these memories and hold onto them forever. It’s such a weird feeling.

Born in 2003, these pictures are nostalgic.

4:33 the bert and ernie truck! they have that exact same one at the end of an outdoor mall in my annual vacation spot :D

[@bbbbbbb]

Same, but instead it's in my local Walmart.

[@Flannels1]

I think the reason I love these is because I see myself in it Most are abandoned places once filled with life and color and happiness but are now desolate decaying empty spaces much like we were as kids and how we are now

High asl missing my childhood . Red ribbon week never stopped me from smoking

[@mikunakano8187]

Born in late 99 and man when i was a kid everything about the 2000s where so simple and fun, would see a lot of kids in my neighborhood play with there toys or be active and play basketball/other sports which my mom would tell us to do to not get lazy. Many great cartoon to watch after school, playing my PS2 and overall enjoy being a kid. I wont ever forget those precious memory i hold in my childhood

[@mvrs333]

Life was so plain and simple... now it's hard and borderline unenjoyable

[@beedslolkuntus2070]

It’s weird. I never even was so social or had friends. I was always locked inside. How can I relate to these. The only things that I can relate to visually with nice force is a bookshop store that had that carpet, that texture. The weird mix of colors sometimes remind me of some hospitals with pediatrics doctors rooms being decorated like that. I can’t seem to think much more.

[@beacondude5000]

1:30 That is the exact monitor that my family pc had so that's really nostalgic for me

[@sitr2516]

I think the scariest part is that some part of you feels like you were there, in that very space once, as a child, or maybe you passed by it once. It makes me feel like I am living in some sort of simulation.

[@Lowkey_LuLu]

This video made me re think about all of my childhood memories especially summer. I remember I would go over to on Eid my best friends house (Jade, I have no idea where she is or who she is now after like 7 years) but it was her grandmas house it was soooo cool and big there was like an extra attic space we would go and play in it had the best lighting and there was a back alley, she had a fun play room, the whole house was just nostalgic (summer childhood vibes). Then I also had my best friend who was like a sister to me who lived like an hour away but I would still go over like once a week every summer. It was a small house but super fun, it was by a farm so we would go play. I also haven’t seen that friend in probably over 8 years I think she moved, this makes me miss all my old friends and memories. Now summers aren’t as fun now that we all have phones and electronics. We all just stay in our rooms watching TikTok all day instead of going outside in the sun eating popsicles and biking around town with friends, or going to the pool/lake.

God these always make me cry. One picture can spark a memory that you didn’t know existed

[@zoeysavino709]

As a 2010's kid, I can tell that this throwback was similar to my early 2010's childhood

[@liamreeder7594]

Some of these look eerie, while others look unfamiliar or nostalgic

[@rosiface2620]

These pictures are making me cry, as a person who is born in 2007, i just want to go back.

[@kmaclegends9042]

Some of these locations makes me feel as though I've been there. I remember going to school back in the 2000's. I like how colorful they were. It was fun back in those times, I remember playing with the stuff animals, trucks and cars, the scooters in the school gym's was by far the best parts of gym time. We just had fun. The school's I went to were so positive, the classes I attended were like a family, classmates were friendly. I miss those times don't know what schools are like now. But I miss how colorful times in the 2000's were. The cartoons were entertaining not to say cartoons are now. Nowadays everything looks bland. Glad to have grown up in the 2000's. I will always look back on those days fondly.

I think the uncomfortable feeling was feeling like you got lost or separated from the group since theres no one else there which is a childs true fear.

[@Gwilherm]

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain...

[@Lainers0616]

I was born in 2005 so I remember a lot of this, and gosh I miss it so much, it’s so sad that we grew up and apparently the world now doesn’t want that good experience for the children of today

[@CameronLayne-z4b]

1:24 it reminds me of whenever you go to a fun place at a mall but the entrance is on the outside, you go into the attraction it has like mini arcades and stuff right, but you go to the back that connects to the rest of the mall and its just like weirdly creepy like it looks like you've been to some of the stores but at the same time it looks abandoned

[@kaylamorrow1207]

I was Born in 2004 and I remember Half of these Childhood stuff like playing with a lot of Toys specifically like Toy Story things and mostly Baby dolls and bottles. and having free time at the Playground🛝😊😀🫶🏻

i dont always understand this world..but this video made me feel so many things, nostalgia , happiness, depression, anxiety but it also reminded me of life. Its most likely just my silly brain but i did write a speech? Of sorts while lietening to this I call it You matter - a nostalgic realization There are few things I never wish on anyone..yet long for them to experience is the nostalgic longing for a past you never had. The moments you once forgot brought back with simple pictures and music. We long for the past, we fear the future, and we take the present as being bad..when before our past was the now..where we could go to book fairs at school, ride those little coin operated rides like the apple car. Or where playgrounds were sacred places of imagination and not empty and void of joy. We take what we have experience for granted. Sure some may be bad and others worse…but there are those moments that shine like lost treasure. Golden memories with gems of happiness, sure now isn't the past..and things seem to get worse, we feel dumber or depressed. But we don't always feel that way, we enjoy our lives when we can..we experience our lowest points, we suffer alone with the constant war of thoughts flooding our head. What we should have done, what we shouldn't have said, so many thoughts. But through all that we survive- no we create we thrive. We may miss those golden days but that doesn't mean we can't make new ones. We may think everything sucks forever, but as my favorite quote states. At the end of everything….hold onto anything Cherish life as our most beautiful gift, a chance to create and experience everything. For in the end on our deathbed we will remember Remember all those who helped us, who hurt us and all those moments that made us human. Keep being human, keep experiencing life and keep trying to survive, create and be happy. For something as small as a gesture a simple compliment could mean the world to another. Keep growing and keep trying to experience life..for we only have one life. Treasure it as your greatest possession (With love and care to all who may see this..who took the time to read it all, thank you and take care.)

Ok You are from Cincinnati and this video scared me when i recognized Totter otter ville and Florence mall SO THANK YOU for that holy shit.

[@droppers]

I was born in 2007 but I can relate to these images because I was a kid in the early to late 2010s and that had some 2000’s factors in it. The first image in this video looked like my middle school cafeteria and at school they used windows 7 operating systems and didn’t really change much when it got revamped in the 2000’s so my school was like a time capsule of the 2000’s era if you think about it

[@SLOTHSRIDEUNICORNS]

2000's. The best times.

[@Troko]

I wasn’t born in the 2000s but the way people talk about it, it seemed great, and for some odd reason I have nostalgia for the 2000s.

[@monstermash9973]

0:52 is Cincinnati Mall, one of the most unique malls I’ve seen. Me and my dad used to walk around that place and I would see that old playground. I miss that mall now that it has closed

These images make me feel happy and sad at the same time.
