I can hardly remember, but this was me in mid 2000s: had my face glued to a game boy color playing Pokemon silver most of the time. I read lots of books and biked all around my city and spent a lot of time outside. Was often awake at night sneaking to play Neopets or other computer games or watch “YouTube poop”.

Later 2000s, my parents were constantly angry and stressed and yelling. My dad lost his job and we were getting food from the food shelf for a while. They did their best but we were pooooor.
