I think we all have these feelings of nostalgia. We're reminded of the fun times we had poking around in the woods, and we wish we could be 9 again. I know I do. That's when it really hits me.
But yes, the human race is overrunning the Earth. For better or for worse, we are. Everywhere you look, there's another building. When I was 8, there used to be some bike trails in the woods near my house. Awesome little trails that I could spend the day on, doing tricks and spending my fair share of time lying on the ground in agonizing pain after going over the handlebars. They built a house over them when I was 10. I still miss not being able to ride them.
I guess I get past it by recognizing all the amazing and wonderful things that I have. I can't say that the change has been for the better, nor can I declare it a change for the worse. But there was a change, and I have adapted. And I'm happy.
