10 years ago...

[3skulls]

10 years ago I was 13 years old. I was young and dumb. That was the Year that my best friend lost his father and his life spiraled downward after that for a few years. I always was there for him but he still grieved and cut himself. But really I couldnt blame him like I have no idea what it is like to lose your father at such a young age. But i stayed positive and helped him through his hard time. I was the only one there for him. Funny thing is a few weeks ago he visited me and thanked me for being there for him during that time of his life. He told me that if it wasn't for me then he would have ended his own life. This made me feel so grateful you dont even know. As for the rest of that year its like I said I was young and dumb lol.

10 years ago, that means I would've been roughly 10 or 11 years old (Still 10 years old if going on exact time). My parents got a divorce (rather my mom divorced my dad) because my mother was tired of the abuse that my father put her and myself through, she was going to stay with him until I graduated HS (she didn't want to disrupt my social situations or my education), but she just had it because it came to the point that either her or him were going to kill one another if he persisted with his abuse. So I felt very alone post divorce (most because I didn't understand what was going on, I didn't realize what my father did was abusive until years later), I kept to myself mostly, I was at a new school with new people that I didn't know, and kids didn't really like me all that much so I was very much alone. I did however love Pokemon (Still do tbh, playing Pokemon Yellow as I type this), Yugi-oh was a great passion of mine, although in hindsight, I wasn't that good at it, had too many monsters but not a lot of spells & traps. I got introduced to new Anime (Other than Pokemon and Yugioh) such as Ghost In The Shell (Which I credit as my first real anime), Naruto, & Inuyasha.

Thats pretty much all that I remember

I was six years old then.
It's interesting that you bring this up, because I've thought a lot about this myself because I had a friend back then that have I am now gaining back.
That year, me and my parents transferred churches. My mom had been at our old one since 1988, and my dad since 1993. In fact, they met there in 1996 and got married the following year. As a result, that was the very first one I attended, as I was born in 2000. However, when I started my 1st grade year in August of 2006, they switched to a different one, and that's the one we've gone to since. Well, when my parents began dating in 1996, they met a married couple, who later had a son the same age as me. He and I were friends up until when they made the decision to change churches.
Well, this past November, during my sophomore year of high school, my geometry teacher got fired, and, after going through seven (yes, you read that right, seven) different substitutes in November and December, we got a new teacher. She was my old friend's mom, and told me it had been 20 years since when she first met my parents.
Me and my old friend are slowly becoming friends again. I wouldn't say we're close, but we're getting back to where we were back in 2006 and earlier.
This ties into how each year from 2006 to 2012 was one where my life changed a lot, going through strings of friends and so forth. But, by far the biggest change in my life in 2006, aside from switching churches and losing contact with a friend as a result, was when I no longer saw a girl that I had known since when I started preschool in 2003.
She and I were in preschool from 2003 to 2005, however, she did go to the same elementary school as me and was in my kindergarten class during the 2005-2006 school year. However, after the school year ended in May of 2006, despite the fact that she and I went to the same elementary school the whole time, we were never in the same classes up until my graduation from the school in 2011.
However, in August of 2011, right when I started middle school, she and her family transferred to my church (the one me and my parents have been going to since August of 2006), and she soon began having feelings for me, which was awkward because I didn't feel the same about her (at that time, I had been liking the same girl since February of 2010), and all the time she talked about how, during the time that we were in preschool and kindergarten together from 2003 to 2006, I had said to her that I wanted to bring with me to New York, as apparently I wanted to move there then.
How this relates to my life in 2006 as that I was a year that was a major transition for my life. Although the transition to elementary school had been completed the previous year, transferring churches and losing contact with two people that I knew well at the time (one of which was a good friend) proved to be a major shift for me. The only other year I'd say where my life changed as much as it did in 2006 would be 2009.

I think that might have been the year I discovered animal crossing haaaa. I was a sophomore in high school. My friends and I just started going out clubbing and drinking as stupid kids trying to pass as legal adults. My bff and I would always go to some cafe the day after with a hangover and play animal crossing :'D I also remember that being the year my dad officially moved out. Before that he still visited once every month or two but then he stopped.

10 years ago, I'd be four. Just starting preschool, maybe? I don't remember all too much from my preschool years. I'm pretty sure we had a band or something that was basically all chimes and bells. I was the triangle boy who always screwed up, too, so that was a lot of fun.

It was around this time I met a friend whom I still haven't let go of today. He knows a lot about me and vice versa. It wasn't until two years later that another friend of this caliber would appear in my life again, one who I'd have stick around forever.

It was also around this time I had a nightmare I'd never forget. Looking back at it now, it was pretty much just a cheesy little horror movie in which everyone dies. It was probably the only nightmare I could remember, everything else was always silly and fun.
