Share what you know about the year you were born.
Ah, 1985—a glorious mix of chaos, creativity, and cosmic brilliance. Sure, some world-changing events happened, but let’s not sugarcoat it: the highlight? I was born.
As someone wise once said, “Great things often start quietly… unless you were the baby keeping everyone awake in 1985, like me.”
The mid-80s were a vibe. Shoulder pads could double as life rafts, phones were tied to walls (imagine!), and cassette tapes were cutting-edge tech. Michael Jackson moonwalked, Madonna rocked “Like a Virgin,” and people danced without recording themselves. Amidst this glamour, my parents spiced up their lives by bringing me into the mix. Wise move, don’t you think?
But let’s not ignore other 1985 milestones:
Live Aid Concert: A global musical effort to fight famine. Proof that music can try saving the world—kind of like how my cries saved my parents from too much sleep.
Windows 1.0 Launch: The first step toward today’s infamous frozen screens.
New Coke Flop: Coca-Cola’s reinvention tanked. Mistakes happen—just ask my baby pictures.
Ozone Hole Discovery: The world panicked. I was unfazed—holes only mattered if they were in my pacifier.
Pop culture thrived. Back to the Future made time travel cool, and The Golden Girls taught us sass never ages. Meanwhile, I starred in my own show—crying, laughing, and keeping my mom on her toes🤣🤣🤣.
1985’s lessons? Mistakes are survivable (thanks, Coke!), music unites (Live Aid vibes), and life’s quirks are worth laughing at.
“The world was good before, but it got way better with me in it.”🫣🫣😜😜
Oh, and here’s a fun hint: I share my birthday with World Mental Health Day. Coincidence? I think not—it’s as if the universe planned for someone to bring a little more joy, calm, and good vibes into the world. Think you know the date? Drop it in the comments below!
