I remeber 2006 I was in the 6th grade, all the world cup songs, chilling at my local lake with friends, ... maybe it was just because I was a young kid.

But now I think a lot about the 2000s.

I was able to download and Listen to All Songs of 60s, 70s, 80s, and the 2000s had great songs too.

Like Linken Park with Breaking a Habit or Red Hot Chili Peppers with Snow.

It was also a time I spent a long time in Azeroth (WoW) but also a lot of time in real life with friends.

Right now at this moment my job is awesome, I earn enough money, have a wife,... but I cant recreate the Summers of 2000s.

I said it in 2015 those were the best days and now a decade later I still say it. The 2016s to 2019s were also great. But not like 2005 to 2009. Something about those years that gives me a cozy Feeling.

Sonetimes I think Corona ruined everything. Nothing is back to how it was pre 2020. People are so confused, lie and cant tell the difference between fake news and Real news, all only on the phones.

This feels like Im living in a Shell that is empty now. And all this being said my Life SHOULD now be better than in 2006. I have a great job, money, more free time... but dunno.

Anyone else feel this?

I have a similar thing but im older. I was working for university research lab that was pretty much just enough to get my decently but not really save. My work location was just outside downtown. Like going one stop from the universities metro was a stop that was near one of the major amtrack stations and I would take it to go to the maine post office and a job in a high rise building. I was living in a neighborhood just three more miles away. I could walk to work or take one bus that was a straight shot or bike (but it was so short I usually took a longer scenic route). Owned a golden retriever (still do). Apples became freaking awesome and combined the best of unix and a nice graphical system with great support. My work was incredibly interesting. Half was general but I sorta enjoy helping folks but then half was working on the amazing systems that were part of their research. Maine problem was it was contracting year to year and providing for myself and my life long term was sorta scary. If I had stayed I likely would have stopped being able to afford to keep the life and never owned anything. Ironically my best year was during covid. My wage was as high as it has ever been and inflation had not hit yet. I was let go of a job but got severance and quickly got a new one. Now is not so great for me as im on track for being unemployed longer than I have ever been.
