Today is the 20th Anniversary of the release of Smash Mouth's greatest hit, "All Star." Another honorable mention is Stephen Sommers 1999 film "The Mummy," which is one of my favorite movies of all time! Smash Mouth was right. The years start coming and they don't stop coming. I was five years old when these pop culture masterpieces graced us with their presence. Also, "10 Ten Things I Hate About You," "Never Been Kissed," and "She's All That" celebrated their 20th anniversaries this year. I have a deep love for teen films, especially nineties flicks because, well, I'm a nineties baby. Now, of course I'm also a huge fan of eighties teen films. Hello! Molly Ringwald is a goddess. Just wanted to throw that out there! I love anniversaries because it's a time to reminisce about the past and the passage of time. Of course, not all anniversaries are joyful, but even so, those moments of reflection are a testament to the endurance and resilience of society and the human condition. It's impossible not to have a love-hate relationship with history. History is triumphant, accomplished, dark, and morbid, but it's meant for us to acknowledge and embrace so that we can move forward and progress as an association. Now, this isn't always the case, as you can see; however, there have been and always will be achievements to be celebrated, so don't be too pessimistic about the present and future. My advice to everyone is to positively contribute to the world as much as possible and jubilate about the beauty it possesses.
Love,
Nyasia
