What the hell happened?

I reminisce about my youth often. 2004 was my absolute favorite childhood year when I was 10 years old. My mental health went to absolute shit starting at age 13. I was told my adult years would be better, but they have been just as bad if not worse. I am 30 at this time, and I am getting married this year. She is my first real relationship ever and we met when I was 29. I absolutely love her, although I wish we could have met when we were younger, because my physical health has been going to shit these past 2 years.

Nothing has been the same in this country since the Great Recession of 2008.
