the immense remorse i feel for the fact that i never got to experience the era i heavily relate to and identify with personally due to environmental factors and the way i was raised, where i was raised, and who i was raised by kills me on the daily everything about me is defined by y2k and the 2010s but i didnt get to experience life for real until a year or two ago due to being sheltered and living in butt**** nowhere alabama. for all intents and purposes i was not a real person until 2022. in spite of this by viewing that era thru the lens of the internet it Defined my personality and humour and interests. i wish i could go back in time and live the life ive gaslit myself into believing i lived.
