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.
Depends on when you are and when you want to return to. I’d be happy with anything between 1992-2000 ce

Where is also paramount, where and when. Think about Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
True, I would like to be in the USA in that time. I would not want to be in Kosovo in that time.
As long as you weren’t queer.
I am and I was. I would prefer 1992-2000 over today
Yeah, if I was an adult mid-2000s, that would be the best time, IMO.
I specified 1992-2000 to avoid GWB and 9/11
A year or two before the Great Recession?
