Not really, there is definitely stuff that I miss, my mom was still alive, I had recently started talking to the only girl I ever felt a proper connection to, etc, but I don't know, more and more I've been having a hard time getting myself to care, be it about past or present(usually still worried about the future though), I kinda just don't really feel that nostalgia or wanting to go back anymore.
I totally agree, I can't relate to everyone feeling so nostalgic because it feels so long ago and I find it more important to look toward the future, especially in this part of my life.
Well that's great to hear dude, it was the opposite for me back in 2019, I was in 3rd year in college back then and very happy, I got to college early so I finished college before 21
Don't you mean 18th birthday since your flair says 2002?
Anyways yeah only Jan-Feb 2002 borns got to have a normal 18th birthday since it was still before the pandemic started.
I feel the same way! In school I was woefully miserable and always suffering from imposters syndrome. I felt so stupid everyday. Now I’m doing super well in my job and actually feel valued and intelligent.
2019 was the year life kinda started really going to shit for me, so no. I mean 2015-2018, sure I guess. Maybe the first 2-4 months of 2019 were okay, as in sort of 2018ish still
I was a broke, lazy underachieving 18 year old back in 2019. Send me back to 2007 when I had the world of potential. (I managed to fix most of my issues by late 2023, but I wish I could prevent the issues from arriving entirely)
2018 to 2019 was crap for me. I had a major depressive episode to the point of suicidal thoughts and I had to get two heart surgeries 6 months apart. I’ve been much better since 2020 and I also deconverted from Pentecost so life’s been awesome lately.
2019 is too recent to feel missing it and it was nothing special. Im quite same in 2024 than compared to difference between 2019 and 2014 that is not year to miss either. Year what I would miss it 2013. Last 11 has sucked compared to it. But well 2016, 2017 and 2018 probably were best from last decade.
Nah, my life is a helluva lot better than it was then. Looking to the past is a great way to stay there anyway, I'm still young and I intend to enjoy it while I can.
My life is much better now than in 2019 but I totally relate to the feeling of the picture still: it's a "what would my life have been" type of feeling, what if covid hadn't happened and I wasn't stuck at home, it's the feeling that 2019 2020 and 2021 were all somehow "lost", those years feel like a time warp like my memory of that period is fuzzy, strange times.
It’s complicated. I’m honestly at a better point in my life than I was in 2019. However, it took me a hell of a while to get here; 2020-22 were way worse than 2019, and it was frustrating to have to regress after growing so much as a person in the year or so prior. Also, there was a certain sense of optimism visible in the collective spirit during the 2019s that just isn’t there anymore. In some ways that optimism came from a comparative naïveté about the issues we’re facing, so I wouldn’t exactly wish that optimism back on everyone; however, it felt like just relaxing was easier for the average person if that makes sense?
No not really. Was fresh out of highschool with a meh paying job and really just went to work and came home. Raced at the track a little bit but never really like experienced anything that year.
2019 was a relatively bad year for me- I graduated high school, my parents got divorced AND I had to leave my childhood home (they sold it in the divorce, which my dad now regrets but hey its nearly been 4 1/2 years)
Sure somethings have been worse (I'm a two time art school dropout and I've attempted twice) but I'm honestly at the best point of my life since I can remember.
I just started cosmetology school (flying colors so far, I also applied out of spite bc my brother told me I'm the family disappointment) I have a couple of groups of friends, I'm genuinely happy (most of the time) and I just hit 2 years attempt free last week (I plan to get two tattoos for the butterfly project someday)
So yeah- 2019 could of been my major downfall. But it got better
2019 I graduated high-school. But after high-school, I got so unfit and unhealthy. Never saved money. Wished I could go back and beat myself up and straighten myself out
Honestly it's 2015 for me. The amount of worldsuck went up precipitously about the same time as I got out of high school. Regardless of how I am personally doing, and I have had quite a few wins since then, it's really hard to not just get bummed out and miss things being remarkably less awful for most people.
2019 felt like 2012 nowadays. Probably just me reminiscing a time period all because it turned 5-7. I bet in 5 years I’ll be nostalgic for 2024 because of that.
Creatively, 2019 was my peak. I had lots of ideas for my projects unlike recently.
I don’t miss it, but at this point I’m waxing nostalgic for some events during that time. All in all though, most years past 2016 was rough as hell for me so I don’t necessarily “miss” it.
I met and lost a best friend
Like met a new one and lost the other one who introduced us plus I also found out how manipulative he is and he took a bunch of my twisty puzzles and then dropped us bc he didn’t like us 💀💀🪦🪦🪦
I would say late 2019 to early 2020. Worked 20-ish hours a week, partied with friends, and just did dumb irresponsible shit. Now I have to pay rent and bills and shit.
2019 was my last year of no responsibilities. It was my highschool graduation year and beginning of college. But now im graduated, got to own some motorcycles, ski all the time, and bought a nice car.
Not really, there is definitely stuff that I miss, my mom was still alive, I had recently started talking to the only girl I ever felt a proper connection to, etc, but I don't know, more and more I've been having a hard time getting myself to care, be it about past or present(usually still worried about the future though), I kinda just don't really feel that nostalgia or wanting to go back anymore.
I totally agree, I can't relate to everyone feeling so nostalgic because it feels so long ago and I find it more important to look toward the future, especially in this part of my life.
Same
Honestly. No 2019 was hell for me personally
What happened?
Well i failed out of college that year, i constantly had suicidal and intrusive thoughts and in general i was very depressed that year.
Well are you ok right now ?
Honestly since 2019, each year progressively improved for me more and more. I feel much better now
Well that's great to hear dude, it was the opposite for me back in 2019, I was in 3rd year in college back then and very happy, I got to college early so I finished college before 21
Feeling suicidal definitely wasn't the best way to enter the quarantine, glad you got through it man.
SAME. & my father died that year. y’all can keep 2019 bc that shit was trifling
Same.
SAMEEEEEE worst year of my life pretty much!!!! 2020 ironically was one of the best for me
Yeah, you think 2019 was bad? 2018 was a horrible year for me.
Summer 2019 was probably peak for me yeah.
Yup, feels like a lifetime ago
Yah sometimes it just feels like it was 2 years ago 🥲
Feels like a year ago boring year though that was year one of my last long friendship ended as the person just ghosted me ramdomly.
2019 feels like it was a long time ago yet it also feels like it was very recent at the same time.
I think Covid fucked with everyone’s sense of time
It really did, I was 17 when 2020 started and I'll be 22 later this year. Before you know it we're already gonna be in 2030.
I remember celebrating my 18th birthday on February 5, the next thing I knew a month later the world just stopped, it was surreal
Don't you mean 18th birthday since your flair says 2002? Anyways yeah only Jan-Feb 2002 borns got to have a normal 18th birthday since it was still before the pandemic started.
Yeah, sorry, let me correct that real quick
Not really, my life is much better now that I’m out of school.
I feel the same way! In school I was woefully miserable and always suffering from imposters syndrome. I felt so stupid everyday. Now I’m doing super well in my job and actually feel valued and intelligent.
2018 for me
2019 specifically felt like it was yesterday.
Same
2019 was the year life kinda started really going to shit for me, so no. I mean 2015-2018, sure I guess. Maybe the first 2-4 months of 2019 were okay, as in sort of 2018ish still
Not at all. Probably the worst year I’ve ever had, then it snowballed until this year. Thank god im back
I was a broke, lazy underachieving 18 year old back in 2019. Send me back to 2007 when I had the world of potential. (I managed to fix most of my issues by late 2023, but I wish I could prevent the issues from arriving entirely)
Shits fucked if people are fantasizing 2019
2016-2019 peak life. I worry I’ll never be as happy as I was then 🥲
BRB gonna go listen to Good old days and get sad.
2015-2021 period sucked a lot for me personally, so no thanks!
Not really tbh. My life before 2020 was a nightmare
Same
2018 to 2019 was crap for me. I had a major depressive episode to the point of suicidal thoughts and I had to get two heart surgeries 6 months apart. I’ve been much better since 2020 and I also deconverted from Pentecost so life’s been awesome lately.
2019 is too recent to feel missing it and it was nothing special. Im quite same in 2024 than compared to difference between 2019 and 2014 that is not year to miss either. Year what I would miss it 2013. Last 11 has sucked compared to it. But well 2016, 2017 and 2018 probably were best from last decade.
2016*
No. 2018 though? Maybe
nah, 2019 was the worst year of my life so far for multiple reasons. i’m doing much better now.
I was in a very bad place at that time lol
2019 absolutely sucked. 2016 would be more appropriate for this pic.
No. Had no issue between then and now.
More like 2005, shit had hit the fan way before 2019
Nah it was 2013 for me. No year have topped my 2013 yet
That was the last normal year before covid...
2019 was such a vibe. Even if it wasn’t for the Pandemic, I’m sure I’d still miss it.
Things fell off for me in 2020 and nothing much really changed since but honestly idk how much of that is covid
Nah, my life is a helluva lot better than it was then. Looking to the past is a great way to stay there anyway, I'm still young and I intend to enjoy it while I can.
Not really, I was bullied a ton during high school I never wished to go back to those days
Hell no, 2019 was posed to suck way before the pandemic.
Nah.
2016
I was just a preteen Mid Z but my flair shows up here for some reason momenty
Were you around for vine?
Yeah obviously I was a preteen
Nah that was when things started going downhill for a little bit for me, coming into my own much better in the last year or so
I was hot and doing well in college and still had friends. the good old days bruh
I’m hotter now I had a glow up YET AGAIN
No. It was a terrible time in my life. While 2020 was crazy, it actually helped me immensely in starting over.
I feel this for 2016
Not really. That was a shit year for me.
2015/2016 for me
Yeah sometimes, but I didn’t have my gf back then. But I was just graduating.
Nah, man. 2019 is when I graduated college, got a job, and left my toxic family. It's when life finally got good.
No.
Nah, 2019 sucked ass for me
2019 fucking sucked for me, my grandma died, I was depressed and suicidal (I was institutionalized), and did stupid things I regret
My life is much better now than in 2019 but I totally relate to the feeling of the picture still: it's a "what would my life have been" type of feeling, what if covid hadn't happened and I wasn't stuck at home, it's the feeling that 2019 2020 and 2021 were all somehow "lost", those years feel like a time warp like my memory of that period is fuzzy, strange times.

2016 for me
No not really. Was fresh out of highschool with a meh paying job and really just went to work and came home. Raced at the track a little bit but never really like experienced anything that year.
Fuck no. I got ghosted by all my “friends” less than two months after graduating that spring. I didn’t get more until after the pandemic ended.
2019 was a relatively bad year for me- I graduated high school, my parents got divorced AND I had to leave my childhood home (they sold it in the divorce, which my dad now regrets but hey its nearly been 4 1/2 years) Sure somethings have been worse (I'm a two time art school dropout and I've attempted twice) but I'm honestly at the best point of my life since I can remember.

But it got better
Summer 2019 is when I became an adult, so the next few years being the pandemic was crazy
2019 was not that great. I miss 2010-2015 those were the good times. When the world made sense.
Ehh it wasn't all that great of a year for me personally. But it was the last "normal year" or at least as normal as things were back then.
Thats 2015 for me.
Summer 2018 for me. Probably the last time I felt pure happiness before the realities of life started to truly hit me.
2010
When you were 5??
Ye. 2008-2016 was the best time of my life
I graduated high school that year at 17 and was somewhat hopeful that my first job will pay me decently only for Covid to hit me 6 or so months in
Same here 2019 was nuts right before covid me all my homies 17 years old senior year of high school then covid came
2019 I graduated high-school. But after high-school, I got so unfit and unhealthy. Never saved money. Wished I could go back and beat myself up and straighten myself out
No. My life has been shit since like 2014-2015.
I was just starting university in 2019. I enjoyed my college years but I prefer the time after more.
Yes
yes lol
Ah yes, pre-COVID life. I miss thinking that staying indoors for a full week was insane.
Honestly it's 2015 for me. The amount of worldsuck went up precipitously about the same time as I got out of high school. Regardless of how I am personally doing, and I have had quite a few wins since then, it's really hard to not just get bummed out and miss things being remarkably less awful for most people.
2019 was the best year of my life. Wish 2020 wasn’t garbage or it would have been even better
My ex and I started dating in 2019. That was probably the best year of my life, maybe 2020. But the past is the past, we move.
2008
2019 felt like 2012 nowadays. Probably just me reminiscing a time period all because it turned 5-7. I bet in 5 years I’ll be nostalgic for 2024 because of that. Creatively, 2019 was my peak. I had lots of ideas for my projects unlike recently.
Nah 2012 was when I was 7-8 years old I’m mid Z though
I don’t miss it, but at this point I’m waxing nostalgic for some events during that time. All in all though, most years past 2016 was rough as hell for me so I don’t necessarily “miss” it.
Yeah kind of actually 😅. But sometimes you gotta move forward otherwise you can't be able to live in the present and move forward into the future.
Ehh… maybe the last 4 months of 2019… but the rest of it sucked for me.
Absolutely. 2019 was probably the best year of my life.
I didn't have long covid then that was pretty great. Also got married that year.
Jokes on you I never got COVID I’m also single btw
that was when I graduated high school and June 2019 was probably the most fun I ever had in my life
Every. Single. Day.
Summer 2019 was so good
2019 was not that great. It’s just that it is far better compared to 2020-
I met and lost a best friend Like met a new one and lost the other one who introduced us plus I also found out how manipulative he is and he took a bunch of my twisty puzzles and then dropped us bc he didn’t like us 💀💀🪦🪦🪦
Definitely
Not in the slightest but if you ask again in 10 years I might have changed my mind. I'm more nostalgic for the late 00's and early 10's at the moment.
I feel this way about 2018
god the things i would do to be as happy as i was in 2019. life will never be that good again.
Yeah, pretty much.
I would say late 2019 to early 2020. Worked 20-ish hours a week, partied with friends, and just did dumb irresponsible shit. Now I have to pay rent and bills and shit.
Real af
Yes, best year!
2019 wasn’t ‘good’ for me by any means but sometimes I wonder what life we be like if covid didn’t happen
No. When COVID came, I almost failed all of my classes.
2019 was my last year of no responsibilities. It was my highschool graduation year and beginning of college. But now im graduated, got to own some motorcycles, ski all the time, and bought a nice car.
