So...we sure miss the mid 00s!

Looking at my finished profile on here felt surreal.

For the last couple of months I've been on a mid 00s binge, I've tried every website from that time that still remains trying to recover some of my lost memories. I haven't been too successful but I've found quite some gems. I never thought that a lot of us were going collectively through it. It being of course a very deep nostalgic feeling for when life seemed a bit less complicated. I was talking just yesterday with a friend about this, this period of time (2003-2008/9) feels kind of lost somehow. Nobody is doing movies about the mid00s (except for maybe The Bling Ring but that was barely made in 2013) and yet they are coming back in full force. Olivia Rodrigo is rocking some 00s aesthetic vibes and her music seems reminiscent of that era which makes me want to scream into my pillow like I did 15 years ago but not because I'm sad or full of teenage rage because I feel so old watching my teenage years become a vibe (absolutely zero disrespect to ms. Rodrigo I thoroughly enjoyed her debut album) and also you see fashion shows like the Blumarine one being completely inspired by the tabloid celebrity culture of this period.

The mid 00s were so damn weird you had rockstars openly being queer on stage, songs about catholicism and catholic guilt, sadness, and rage. We were just in between of something, a true transitional period. We were not in the 90s anymore but we werent full consumed by instagram or facebook yet. We were on the brink of catastrophe and none of us knew when that was going to hit us and again life (even though it didn't feel like it) was a little less complicated.

I am an only child and I'm lucky I've always had a nice couple friends but I've always been very lonely. Both my parents are doctors and they had full schedules (well my mom had and still has my dad just prefers to spend most of his free time golfing but that also takes time i guess) and they gave me unlimited access to both tv and internet so I developed an early (still on going) internet addiction that allowed me to get in such places like myspace or livejournal at a very dangerous age but even though the internet was full of creeps I found a nice couple places where people seemed to understand what I was feeling and also shared a love for the bands that were getting big (MCR, FOB, The Used, the whole decaydance shtick) and I was truly at my happiest.

I guess that's why I've longed so much for something that gives me at least a whiff of those feelings back. I hope this is the right place.

(please forgive any typo, grammar or spelling mistake. english is not my first language but it feels like a costume so I'm more comfortable writing about my feelings like this)
