To wish it was 2010? - my life has gone flat

In March of 2010 I'm pleased to say all the pieces came together in my life👌after an EXTREMELY traumatic few years
In November 2008 I was convinced I didn't have long to live - long story- but not only did I defy the odds in March 2010 my life became better than I ever thought imaginable cos 2 VERY unexpectedly good things happened as well as a few other also good things, but these could have been more expected, if you see what I mean.

Anyway , after 2012 I put on weight and lost a very dear relationship by the end of that year.

I'm now back in square one and my life is so flat compared to 2010 I'm often in tears. I so miss my old life I often listen to songs from 2010 wishing it was then 😂
I know this is sad and unhealthy but hey if you can't laugh at yourself you've lostZ

Why can't this magical time come back?

Don’t wish for it back, work to recreate it again! You have done it once, you can pick the kind of life you would like and work towards that again Flowers

Thanks Twirly I know you're right. I did think of this

This is really weird I also listen to songs from 2010 and feel sad. I always say 2010 was my best year. Young, care free and just having a great time. I met my arsehole ex at the very end of 2010 and became pregnant 2011. That's when my life changed forever. I love my children and wouldn't change them for the world but I often listen to songs from 2010 and look back at how happy I was with no responsibilities or worries.

As PP have said, change it. Only you can. Unless you believe in reincarnation, this is it and time moves fast.

How to do it is the question? Only you can answer this.

Btw, most of us get nostalgic by listening to music or watching TV from the past. It's normal.

It's nice that someone else loves this year - I even like the way it looks written down - 2010 - maybe we should start a 2010 appreciation grouo

Omg 2010 was my best year too.
It was amazing. All my dreams were within reaching distance. It felt as though the work was just sending me everything I needed.
I too play 2010 songs 🙈

Charley1988 · 05/10/2019 18:53

Thanks everyone for your wishes x

Hull from hull. Good to hear about your 2010.

I had some really happy dreams then too.

You can never get enough 2010 music

I think everyone feels like this to some degree.
My best time was 2001 to 2003. I had to best times then. Completely independent, going out and having fun, everything was just fun. I love being a parent now but all that comes with being a grown up does drag you down if you let it.
