The only decade I've missed is the 90s. I remember being incredibly happy then my parents decided to move in 2000 to a rich suburb even though we were incredibly poor and the remainder of my childhood was ruined by the fact that I had zero friends. No one wanted to hang out with the poor kid in my "tiny house" with "nothing to do". Plus my parents were literally always working and none of the kids parents wanted to leave them in a house with no adults supervising. And since my parents weren't there I had no rides to anyone else's house. My parents said they wanted us to have better connections so maybe the richness would "rub off" and we'd grow to be more successful. Well it didn't work. I grew up bitter and friendless, constantly wanting to move back where we used to live and hating everything about life. The few friends I did manage to make have not stuck around and oftentimes my problems were "too depressing" for any friends to really wanna hear so I was just alone. It only made me hate people with money. It only got better when I decided to leave home and went to an urban high school, made better friends, but then my mom made me go back home and this time I didn't even have a bedroom. Slept in the living room on the couch. Wanted to kill myself so many times but couldn't do that to my family. I've hated everything about my school days except those moments when I was on my own. Graduated in 09 and left home again but did a lot of dumb shit out of depression. Finally starting to enjoy life a little more as an adult and am definitely less hateful than before but I'm almost 30 and feel like I wasted what should've been fun years on all those negative feelings. Fuck the 2000s, fuck the 2010s. It's all felt like a big blur of "let's fuck with ScruffMcDuck". 2020 I'm applying for a Canadian visa and attempting to get the fuck away from here.

Sorry that I ranted. Didn't really realize I wanted to let all that out. I'm okay :)
