The times of youth are moments to be cherished throughout all of our life. They are what form us as who we are and give us the base to further develop ourselves. But what happens if this process is suddenly interrupted, deteriorated and ultimately erased completely? In this fictional scenario, we explore what happens when a young adult of our times is victim of an extremely rare neurodegenerative disease, which slowly but surely tears away their mind.

[SIDE A]
"The other day, my best friend was telling me all about how they were feeling quite nostalgic about their childhood years recently. The music they listened to, the games they played...It was quite the interesting conversation. And of course, I also added in some of my own personal experiences. It's nice having someone to talk with about these type of things, regardless of how wacky they might be."

[SIDE B]
"My friend mentioned earlier today how they apparently had been recently struggling to focus more than the usual and kept mixing up some things as well, albeit minor ones. Despite me telling them it's perfectly normal and that they're probably just more forgetful and/or distracted, they still were a bit worried about it. Over the course of the day however, they started to feel a bit better. I just hope it's nothing too serious, they seem really concerned."

    The opening gives such a childlike feeling that nothing else does.

    “And suddenly the world is a more exciting place to be. Super Mario World! It comes only as part of the system it was created for, The Super Nintendo Entertainment System; the next generation from Nintendo! Now you’re playing with power, Super Power!” A banger opening to a banger album. Yeah I said it.
