I don't really miss 2009. That was the year I graduated high school, my dad stopped visiting me for several years (since he no longer had to pay child support, I guess he figured he wasn't obligated to care about me at all...), I realized someone I cared about actually hated my guts, we lost the house, and everything generally just came crashing down on me. An all together pretty stressful, depressing, isolating year. 2005-2008 were better for me.

The only particularly good thing about 2009 was that I somehow managed to graduate Valedictorian. So, I got to feel moderately proud of myself for at least a few seconds... until my peers reminded me it was a fluke and I wasn't actually "that smart."

But you know.

Lol.

Christ I feel old right now.
I was thinking that too... :lol

2009 was pretty good i guess. I started highschool. That was exciting. A new school for the first time in 7 years. Having to ride a school bus for the first time. Lots of other people and not just the same people i'd seen all those years. Got into a class that my bullies weren't in. Skipped school alot. Yupp, good times. It only went downhill after that.

I miss 2009 as well, actually was in a relationship with someone who seemed to really care. Too bad she left me during a major turning point in my life and I did an abysmal job of transitioning into university life. I focused too much on grades also in 2009, so that contributed to only a little bit of my social awkwardness and isolation throughout my university years.

For all the bad that happened in 2009, there was certainly a lot of hope in me. I had a more concrete group of friends, wish I did more with them in hindsight...

2009 was amazing.

Going to sound like a total geek, but Call of Duty was the **** back then. Literally everyone I used to hang out with would all come home and we'd play Modern Warfare 2 until it was time to sleep. Those days were amazing.

Not a single worry in the world. What I'd give to go back to 2009-2010. After then, it all seemed to just get ****tier for me, and interestingly enough so did the game series I used to love and all those friends I considered best friends, I don't even speak to anymore. Crazy.

2001 for me.

I miss having friends and being able to spend all day riding bikes/skateboards/ramping/building ramps/climbing trees/playing basketball/watching wrestling with my friends (we were obsessed with it)/pretending we were wrestlers/hanging around bonfires telling stories/playing video games/just being a kid and having fun with no real responsibilities. I was actually thinking about this earlier today.

I also miss 2002. That was a year after I moved away from home to go to graduate school, so I didn't have an initial shock and at the same time had a lot of freedom. I was 22 at the time.

2006 - 2007. The first and last time I was surrounded by a group of people that made me happy and comfortable. Nothing beats the feeling of late night phonecalls from people asking what you are doing because they want YOU to come out and join them.

I also miss places: in particular Minneapolis and Ann Arbor. Going there is the closest thing to coming back to 2001--2004 and 2004--2009, respectively. Well except that I haven't really been there: can't afford to spend money on plane tickets for no reason. Maybe if I were to go there and spend some length of time, they wouldn't be so special any more since they would be "tainted" with 2017. But, until then, I can always hope.

I can also come to those places through music: "Soak up the sun", "Am I standing still", "piano man" and "when everything's made to be broken" brings me right back to Minneapolis and 2001--2004. "My heard can't stand it any more" brings me back to Ann Arbor 2004, "When I used to rule the world" brings me back to Ann Arbor 2009 (not looking back to that one by the way: too much drama between my ex and my mom) but 2001--2004 are good years to go back to.

When I was 9 I had to sleep at 9.
But I miss 1990. When I didn't exist.

'90s were best!

humans made everything worse.

World War II was a much better time to live or die
by now

I don't remember anything happening in 2009. Are you sure it existed?

The year I was 9, 1989, was more memorable... mainly for the earthquake and Berlin wall and feeling miserably alienated from everyone at school. Would not go back.

2009 was an awful year for me. Just an awful one. I have no nostalgic feelings for being a kid or anything prior to 2014 really when I quit my last s***ty job at the hospital. Ever since then my life has taken a sharp turn for the better based on that alone.
