    Living in a country that isn’t from Europe or US, and having better internet access just recently from 2015, the feeling of “I’m always late/out of the party” felt very often but not so weird either, like I’m very used to feel about this.

    So when there is something trending, I don’t quite realize that I can be part of it. I just let it pass and when someone refers to it some time in the future, I tell it “oh yea that was a thing ‘they’ do”.

    Basically, the ‘they’ character often I encounter because I never feel like I’m part of them or anything. But it’s not that I feel it sad or anything, I’m used to this feeling. And not that I’m a typical person who wants to always follow the latest trend.

      Hahahaha, similar situation here.

      But I got internet connection at home in 2015, not just a better one.
