# Clearly, it’s time to refactor my nostalgia

When your blog is [old enough to vote](https://siliconflorist.com/2025/08/07/old-enough-to-vote-silicon-florist-is-18-years-old/), sometimes you could use a little level set. To help you readjust your perspective. Because what seems like a recent occurence to you may, in fact, be ancient history to someone else. [I got a reminder about that today](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/turoczy_cartadata-startups-fundraising-activity-7374119318395080704-f_2h?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAAZTPABpzOAcnIrkYOlK0XhArMoD_BVprE).

That “not so long ago” is actually a decade or ago.
