and why (if you feel like doing a personal reasons storytime)?

If the title wasn't specific enough, what specific year feels like the cut-off in your brain for when you think of measuring recent time and an older era. For example, you might think 2009 doesn't feel like that long ago, but for some reason personal to you, 2008 feels like forever ago.

probably 2017. Super recent but so much has changed for me in such a short time that it feels like a whole different world.

2016 holy crap.

It's pretty bad how much an unsuccessful relationship can mess with your concept of time. Like time was moving so slow back then and I was having a ton of fun. 4 years later I'm going through a quarter life crisis, mixed with depression and trying to recover from being cheated on.

I'm struggling to figure this one out. Somewhere between 2004-2010.

2012/2013

Game of Thrones is what does it for me. It's like a distant dream how obsessed everyone was around that time. In hindsight it's a real 'you had to be there' phenomenon, it's hard to illustrate the level of hype and promise it sustained before collapsing.

2013. November 2013. Whwn I moved out of my own 1 bedroom flat. I moved in start of 2011 when I began my PhD and moved out to move into a new place with my gf. Now she is my wife, we bought a house (after the new flat) and just had a screaming baby.

What I wouldn't give to go back to October 2013 and just stay there.........

Feel this. I started a new position and was immediately thrown into insanity and have at least on the ground floor carried my company through this... I can't believe it's been only 3 months. At least now I feel I'm actually ready for anything.

Prior to that was prob 2016 for a year of travel, beyond that 2011 for end of uni.

In terms of world news/politics, oh how I long for the simple days of early 2015.

But overall my answer would be 1995. 2000 still feels like 10 years ago.

In terms of what the world was like at the time, when I graduated high school. In terms of when I hear when something was and go, "gawd, that was how many years ago?" my answer is probably more like 2016.
