Description

Ever caught a whiff of impulse body spray and suddenly you’re 11 years old, wearing three layered tank tops and texting on a flip phone? Yeah… same. In this episode of Messie Minds, Jessie and Mary spiral (romantically, of course) into the bittersweet world of nostalgia-why it hits so hard, and why time felt endless when we were younger.

We unpack the science behind how our brains perceive time, inspired by an article from Yana Yuhai on Contemplation Station, and reflect on the way adulthood turned life into one big speedrun. From core memories to cringe MSN usernames, this episode is a cozy, slightly chaotic trip down memory lane. Plus, we’re asking the big question: Can we actually slow things down again?

Grab a ‘90s snack, call your inner child, and join us for this one-it’s soft, sentimental, and just the right amount of emo.
