I would say 2016. I was actually content with myself, even happy. I had a solid group of friends who I hung out with often before we all parted ways for our careers and other stuff. I was happy being alone when I had time alone. I got to study abroad and make even more new friends. I was away from my family for the first time and thrived because of it. I still had energy to do things and involve myself in hobbies. I felt proud of my interests instead of ashamed. I still knew how to somewhat socialize. I was probably 40 lbs lighter and liked my body better. I wasn't scarred up. I still had so much to look forward to and somehow never did any of it. I now have a job I love and it pays well, but at what cost? I've been so alone and miserable during my 20's and I'd honestly give up all that schooling I did to go back.
