      Around this period… it does have something, the iconic YouTube of then and how around 2011/2012 I really got into it, the first year of me having a smartphone which was the Galaxy S II, me looking kinda to the side at how pretty the iPhone 4S was that some people had that I knew but also being perfectly happy with my phone, the release of me out of a mental center that was helping me, that summer at the end of that seeing a fullpage ad at the back of a free newspaper before I travelled back home of finally a new American Pie with the original cast which turned out to be an awesome movie… 2012 had something, yeah. How do you look back on 2012 ?

        Well it was a lot, I lost my virginity to a girl I wanted to be with, but her mom was against it because my father dumped her like ages ago; I played a lot of different MMOs, Minecraft… oh I’ve put soo many hours into it; The YouTube thing you talked about is totally true, it’s like a YouTube before 2012 and after 2012 - stupid algorithm! And the smartphone thing is the same for me as well lol I saved money for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and absolutely loved it, despite everyone having the iPhone 4s. I loaded it up with emulators and had a blast. And memes. Around that time I got into memes, meme culture, Internet forums and all of that. The summer break (2 months here) was a blast, been to the lake everyday, just enjoying life. And in the final quarter of the year I got my driver‘s license, which made it even better!

              2018 for me when I conquered many fears and I saw what my mind was actually capable of.
