.........I feel sad. I never had a PSP. To me, the PSP feels like "That new Sony handheld". Then I hear it was released like 25 years ago, and that can't be true.

So I go look in the mirror, and expect to see my own young babyface. You know people are always saying I look way younger than I am. Constantly getting carded to buy alcohol.....they always think I'm 15!

But as I look in the mirror, I no longer see the youthful face that would get carded. Instead the old man in the mirror looks more like my father.....if my father had any balls to grow his hair out like a rockstar. But still....it has gone grey. The hairline a slight bit receeded.

This can't be MY face! Who is this stranger? And then I remember. Years spent wasting my time in a relationship that didn't love me. Years spent in a house filled with rats which I didn't have the authority to exterminate. Years dealing with cancer from living in a rat infested hellhole. Somewhere in all that covid was a thing until it wasn't.

And now, this face looks back at me, still thinking of the PSP as new, and I only have one question....

"What the hell is a Vita???"

Except it still totally is.

The answer is a Vita is the one thing left on this earth that brings joy.

It brought hate back when it was new. Wasn't like the PSP, too casual, too restricted, rabble pleaser etc. Fans, eh?
