I was pretty depressed in that period, I didn't know it at the time but my parents divorce had more impact than I realized. Only later did I find out that feeling bleak and gray and tired wasn't a normal state of affairs.

Yet I yearn for the idea that things were moving forward. I would have loved to have had my current mindset in that period. It's been hard overcoming depression whilst neocons destroyed the mortality I was lead to believe in under the banner of Fukushimas 'end of history'.

But hey at least my own brain isn't trying to sabotage me anymore and I'm in a relatively good place. So even when personally have my shit in order is essential to support the younger generations and fight the greedy swine who orchestrated the current state of affairs.
