Are you amazed what can transpire in 10 years?

[IHaveRespawned]

As a child, 10 years seems so long. Now at age 30, it seems like 10 years ago was like yesterday.

I just learned 3 people I used to volunteer with at the rescue squad are dead. 2 out of 3 of those people were key people/high-ranking officers at the organization. They all died within less than a year apart and all three were in their 50s! Some of them had kids around my age that used to volunteer too.

Then I was reflecting on how my hometown in Tennessee has changed so drastically in just this past decade. This place is not recognizable anymore! All these damn northerners and Californians are flooding in and warping the culture of the area and driving the cost of living up astronomically. The people that did grow up here are dispersing and leaving. I am thinking about leaving with my fiance when I have the money and means to do so. We'll of course be married by then.

10 years also feel like it was yesterday to me sometime I wish I could go back to the past

[IHaveRespawned]

Trust me. I wouldn't trade my fiance for anything, but I do. wish sometimes I can relive the past as a kid again. I miss the days when my papa was alive. He died in 2018. If I had to chose a year to wake up in, it would be 2004, although, again, I wouldn't want to forfeit my relationship with my fiance.

I graduated in 2013, and my active years with the rescue squad were 2013-2014. I made a lot of mistakes and even ruined my career and faced troubles with the law. I wish I could have stopped my downwards spiral, but everything happens for a reason.

@alice55 i wish too.
we all want to be 10yr younger

[Dongie]

I wouldn't mind waking up in 1974. That was a good year.

[alice55]

I have made some mistake too that I would like to fix and many others very personal stuff too that I could prevent if I went back to the past; it's very sad we can't go back.
Everythihng may happen for a reasons but still sometime it still hurt to think about it

[alice55]

@Kelly6 It's not so much that I want to be younger I'm actually more good looking now. than before but there's people who I miss

[alice55]

@Dongie I think I would go back to my last year of high school

[Kelly6]

@alice55
Now I understand.
Yes I miss my old friends too.
From 11 friends I’m only now left with 2, others relocated and moved on

[alice55]

@Kelly6 Most people relocate yes sadly, very fews stay especially when we live in small village

[Kelly6]

@alice55
Same with me as we live in small rural town/village.
But most relocated to big cities

[alice55]

@Kelly6 That's happen often it's sad

[Kelly6]

@alice55
Exactly

[Kelly6]

@alice55
I’m not fan of big cities

[alice55]

@Kelly6 I'm not either, I don't feel comfortable in them and there's too much violence there

[Kelly6]

@alice55
Comfort is my reason.
Open environment is what I love

[alice55]

@Kelly6 I like beautiful scenery and being able to walk safely at night without worrying

[Kelly6]

@alice55
Exactly same.
Does you region more in wine production?

[Dongie]

That would be nice for me too.

You probably couldn't imagine you'd be a jobless deadbeat living off the taxpayer because no one wants to hire a convicted child stalker either.

[IHaveRespawned]

You are beating a dead horse at this point and I already explained it numerous times. You are leaving out information and context. Get a life!

[Nikki1989]

Not really.

[Dongie]

Yes.
