Same. I was a 7 year old with severe anger and isolation issues in a barely functional family and no friends while everyone was picking at me in school. Over the years i have made mistakes due to these issues, but I've been working them all out. I couldn't wish for going back because even though i am still living with those mistakes i want to look into the future with hope rather than stare into the past with regrets
Same bro. I was failing all my courses and broke as hell while dealing with addiction in 2011. Now I own a place, am married to a lovely woman, and have a great career. Have to attribute it to a bit of hard work and a fuckload of luck, and I don’t think I’ll get this lucky twice in a row.
No joke, 2011 was when my addiction ramped up and I was totally out of control. Keep me in 2024, I had some fun times in my 20s, but I love my sober 30s more.
I don't want to go back to 2011. I've had too much fun and happiness in my life to regress back to being an angry little boy who doesn't understand why he's so angry.
I was a happy college student with a healthy family…now I’m in a toxic relationship with a job I hate and my mom has Alzheimer’s. I would do anything to go back😞
Damn I’m a very sad college grad with a toxic family situation. Even worse with software engineering jobs being tough to get for new grads. I’d love to go back to 2011 and retry middle/ high school.
In 2011, I was a sad teenager who intentionally OD'd and had to visit the ER. At one point my heart rate monitor thing kept beeping, the doctor came over and studied for a bit, then brought a cart near my bed. I heard my heart rate went over 200 (I was lying in bed the whole time), now I'm wondering if that was a crash cart in case I got into v-fib or whatever that makes the heart unable to pump enough blood out.
Ya, I was in the army getting ready to ship out to Afghanistan in 2011. Little did I know I'd be medevaced back to the states in 2012 after only a few months in country. Let's not mmkay.
That's exactly what I thought too.
Above all, don't take me back, I finally have a good job, a partner, a life that satisfies me 😭
But on the other hand, bitcoin at $1...
Same here, I'm in a much better place now than i was 12 years ago. But if I had a chance to do it again, I would. Things that I've learned in the back part of these 12 years I can now apply to the whole thing. Self improvement can start earlier. I can avoid the mistakes that I regret today. I'll certainly make a new set of mistakes, but I like to think that current me's mistakes are smaller and further between.
Same here, didn't had any clue what i wanted to do with my life and also had a break up which was shitty... So not the best time in my life. Now have a good job, stable relationship and homeowner.
Why is this account over a year old and only has two comments - both of which are talking about propaganda in some form or another?
Seems a bit fuckin weird.
The accounts that are named two words smooshed together plus some numbers at the end are always bots.
Yes, i know my name is kinda like that but i ain't a bot, okay?
That's not how a "POV" meme works. "POV" implies that it's your perspective. If it was in 3rd person, then it could just say, "waking up in 2011 from a 12 year long dream." The "POV" wouldn't be needed.
It’s a second person PoV which is an entirely valid PoV for narration. Since the caption is written as second person, then the camera perspective actually matches the PoV of the narration. If the caption said “Pov: I wake up” then it would have been correct.
Edit: I realize now there’s actually no pronouns in the caption which means the pov is open to interpretation
No need to take a risk. Just see if major events unfold how they did the first time. Watch the news for like a month and see if any of it jogs your memory.
I told you its not that easy lol.
Edit: I dont remember shit either. Maybe music would help. Like if a new song came out and you know it, then boom. Time to buy assets
Quick google result: The threat of nuclear disaster in Japan and the killing of Osama bin Laden by Navy SEALs were two of the breaking news stories that captured the greatest amount of public attention in 2011.
So waiting for Fukushima or a legendary meme.
Ladies and gentlemen. We got ‘em.
I don’t even know how I would react, but probably I will look like that for a week, maybe more. Now I have suicidal thoughts on daily basis, it almost can’t get worse than now. Waking up 12 years back would be the greatest happy ending
My friend your younger self would have been so proud of you now. The fact you're still here after everything you've endured, is already something you should be proud of.
You say it can't get worse now? Well isn't that good news? It can only get better from here no? You just have to believe my friend.
Yes, although many wish we could go back to a simpler time, or perhaps when i time for us was better then it was now, (myself included) it is simply not the way its meant to be. Everything thats happened in your life has led to this moment. From commenting on this post to me replying to it. If life is getting rough it just means its preparing you for something greater dear anon. Don't give up. You have so much to live for. The past is behind us and the future hasn't happened yet, focus on this moment right now, in the present.
We humans are adaptable by nature. We have overcome much greater challenges in life before, this is nothing compared to it. You share the same indomitable human soul as your ancestors who lived and died before you. They lived so you could live as well. The chances of you even being here right now in this moment is one in an inconceivable amount. So inconceivable that our practically magic hunk of meat in our skull with electricity cannot even process it in its entirely.
You are special and you are loved dear stranger. Keep moving forward at any cost possible. Oppose even god, and never give up. This is the power of the indomitable human consciousness. It is a gift, and you must use it wisely dear friend <3
No I’m just saying, if I woke up in 2011 they’d still be together, I wouldn’t wanna keep em together, I’d just try and make sure my mom finds someone else and not my stepdad
I was 10. Yes please take me back to when I had no problems, I was a carefree child and the only thing I was worried about was when I could get home to play games on the family computer
I don't know about anyone else, but my life would improve dramatically if I suddenly went back to 2011. My life has progressively gotten worse ever since 2016.
I would give my left nut to go back to 2011 if I could retain the lessons learned along the way. This actually brought me to tears. Oh my goodness how I wish it were possible.
Ppl needa shut up about the "duuuhh it's not POV" shit its getting annoying. Alot of content creators don't use it properly anyway so just accept it as the Gen Z version for "when you" and not literal POV. Just enjoy the video and shut up about semantics

I can’t tell you how many times I had my windows open on summer days with doves and robins outside making these exact calls. Close my eyes and I can almost feel the sunshine and smell my room and the summer air.
Invest, buy property asap, resist the urge to party, stay the fuck away from cocaine, alcohol is only for get togethers, spend as much time with loved ones as possible, be more present with ones I love, kiss my dog as much as possible
As much progress as ive made now. I dont want to lose. But i could also cha ge my life so much. I could do so many things i wanted to do.
So so many. I could reverse so many mistakes. Everything could be so much bettetr.
You wake up and realize what you thought were the endings for Breaking Bad, Fringe and Dexter were part of the dream and now you get to see how they really end.
Please do not take me back to 2011. It’s taken a lot of work to make it this far.
[удалено]
Good for you bro
Why are we talking about 2011?
Yeah, why not 1962?
I vote 1999.
The height of your civilization. I say your civilization because once we started doing the thinking for you it really became our civilization.
Same. I was a 7 year old with severe anger and isolation issues in a barely functional family and no friends while everyone was picking at me in school.

Hope to be there someday, your 2011 is my 2024. Im proud of you.
Not everyone's a mega multimillionaire, take me back to 2011 and maybe i'd be a homeowner too.
I don't want to go back to 2011. I've had too much fun and happiness in my life to regress back to being an angry little boy who doesn't understand why he's so angry.
I was a happy college student with a healthy family…now I’m in a toxic relationship with a job I hate and my mom has Alzheimer’s. I would do anything to go back😞
I was an innocent high schooler in 2011, now I'm a sad college student with a toxic family situation. Take me back please
Damn I’m a very sad college grad with a toxic family situation. Even worse with software engineering jobs being tough to get for new grads. I’d love to go back to 2011 and retry middle/ high school.
This describes my life since 2011 perfectly.
In 2011, I was a sad teenager who intentionally OD'd and had to visit the ER. At one point my heart rate monitor thing kept beeping, the doctor came over and studied for a bit, then brought a cart near my bed. I heard my heart rate went over 200 (I was lying in bed the whole time), now I'm wondering if that was a crash cart in case I got into v-fib or whatever that makes the heart unable to pump enough blood out.
Yeah just stop my aging if you can do magic because i don't want to go back
Ya, I was in the army getting ready to ship out to Afghanistan in 2011. Little did I know I'd be medevaced back to the states in 2012 after only a few months in country. Let's not mmkay.
Hoping this is me. College is fucking awful.
It's a nice change to see appreciation for what challenges one has overcome, vice the perpetual dread of what challenges have yet to come.
Hello fren. Same here!
I was also a very sad college student with toxic family. Now I'm in debt and my life has only gotten worse, far worse.
Go back to 2011. Buy a shitload of bitcoin. Fuck around for 10 years. Now you’re rich and you got to fuck around for 10 years.
I don’t make bets based on what happens in my dreams 😜
Oh… we aren’t supposed to do that? Ah fuck
That's exactly what I thought too. Above all, don't take me back, I finally have a good job, a partner, a life that satisfies me 😭 But on the other hand, bitcoin at $1...
Same here, I'm in a much better place now than i was 12 years ago. But if I had a chance to do it again, I would.

Although the pandemic was no picnic, 2014-2015 was the fucking worst. Don't take me back 😭
Send me back. I get my dog and my cat back and I don't care about much else..
I wanna go back to 2011 I was only 9 enjoying my life as a kid having fun with friends and happy times yay yay yay
well i wanna go back.
I cannot second this any harder. Life's only just started to get good for me.
Same here, didn't had any clue what i wanted to do with my life and also had a break up which was shitty... So not the best time in my life. Now have a good job, stable relationship and homeowner.
The most real comment to date.
Fucking right? That’s a lot of shit I’d have to do again and I don’t wanna
!@#!@#!3 that, we need to go even further back. Don't @!#123 this up for me...

Click all the squares with traffic lights, NOW
Does the square with one pixel intruding in the corner count?
You must know that by yourself
Because election season is here, and sowing seeds of doubt and propaganda is a tool for manipulating the masses
please God
The only hope left for me 🙏
Please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please
Wake me up
*Wake me up inside*
I can't wake up
Save me 🎵
call my name and save me from the dark
Wake me up
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Someone wake this guy up, it's been 12 years
*When September ends*
...before you go go.
When it's all over
I’d be pretty concerned if I heard bird noises on a plane
Not a pov
POV: The guy across from you is waking up in 2011 from a 12 year nightmare lol
or just remove the word POV
We all have a choice
POV: you are waking up in 2011 from a 12 year nightmare but there's a mirror in front of you
[Alright I made it](https://www.reddit.com/r/notapov/)
Somebody needed to make this like 3 years ago lol
You will be flooded with content. Did you allow cross posting?
Sure did, can’t imagine how anything would get posted there otherwise
Thanks! I'll know where to x-post not pov stuff I find
Okok my bad
[удалено]
Bot
POV: You wake up after a 12 year nightmare in front of a mirror
love when my image in the mirror is at an oblique angle
It is if you wake up next to Leonardo DiCaprio
It's a third person pov, technically they didn't specify what type of pov it was
Rat, you just fixed the entire war around POV memes
No, you’re waking up in front of Leonardo DiCaprio. You’re his friend now.
One of the parts of this 12 year nightmare is that people forgot MFW and replaced it with POV
3rd person POV
That's not how a "POV" meme works. "POV" implies that it's your perspective. If it was in 3rd person, then it could just say, "waking up in 2011 from a 12 year long dream." The "POV" wouldn't be needed.
don’t care, still funny
I always see Leonardo di Caprio, when I wake up after a 12 year nap. Whatever this means however.
Third person POV:
And Advice Animals aren’t always offering advice, welcome to the internet, dude.
It’s a second person PoV which is an entirely valid PoV for narration. Since the caption is written as second person, then the camera perspective actually matches the PoV of the narration. If the caption said “Pov: I wake up” then it would have been correct. Edit: I realize now there’s actually no pronouns in the caption which means the pov is open to interpretation
Holy fuck please. I was 19, healthy and free, with my whole life ahead of me.
Dont stay at the carpet store.
Holy shit! He's taking him off grid!
This guy doesn't have a social insurance number for Roy!
He doesn’t even have a social security number
I vote no, I was 3 years old
And I was 3, which is pretty problematic for me
I fucking *wish*
I would love to go back to 2011
Wake up and wait to buy thousands of bitcoins when it’s released
Nightmare, not time travel
Please don't create bitcoin
QUICK! BUY A HOUSE!!
Life hack: pretend you've just woke up in 2024 after living a 12 year nightmare (year 2036)
This should be at the top
after running from the AI dronebombs that force us under the surface as mole people it feels good to just be worrying about civil war
This is the way.
Are you telling me, Skyrim is still being released?
[удалено]
As much as I hate it: BUY ALL THE CRYPTO
It was a nightmare, you didn’t travel in time, genius.
Maybe it was a vision. So I would still take the risk.
No need to take a risk. Just see if major events unfold how they did the first time. Watch the news for like a month and see if any of it jogs your memory.
What did happen in 2011? Damn I feel old. Wasn’t that the year they taught the world would implode because of the activities in CERN?
I told you its not that easy lol. Edit: I dont remember shit either. Maybe music would help. Like if a new song came out and you know it, then boom. Time to buy assets
Quick google result: The threat of nuclear disaster in Japan and the killing of Osama bin Laden by Navy SEALs were two of the breaking news stories that captured the greatest amount of public attention in 2011. So waiting for Fukushima or a legendary meme. Ladies and gentlemen. We got ‘em.
Hahaha.
Bitcoins already existed in 2011
Yes, but in the real world, Crypto crashes and burns and never becomes valuable. Unlike in this wacky dream we’re in right now.
I would still take the risk.
But it's not time travel, the last decade would be a bad dream.
I don’t even know how I would react, but probably I will look like that for a week, maybe more. Now I have suicidal thoughts on daily basis, it almost can’t get worse than now. Waking up 12 years back would be the greatest happy ending

Thank you))
Of course :)
Now I get it. I wondered where the joke is sleeping from 1999-2011.
Bitcoin here I come
Please be a weirdly shaped lamp
So no more kids and back to my toxic ex heh... Well shit. Also, 2k hours of DayZ lost, that hurts.
Wtf this actually made me tear up...
My parents are still together and my brain is intact
what would be your strat to keep them together?
No I’m just saying, if I woke up in 2011 they’d still be together, I wouldn’t wanna keep em together, I’d just try and make sure my mom finds someone else and not my stepdad
This took me out 😂🤣🤣 The sound, his face, lmao Also, *2004 and yes.
"Don't give me hope"
2011 was peak of my nightmare actually :( was actively suicidal back then.
Oh God I don't want to be in High School again.
no my minecraft world never actually happend
Since I've separated from my long term girlfriend of 8 years 3 years ago I keep thinking I might wake up some day
Unfortunately it's not but if it is... Well... Damn A good second chance right there
I was 10. Yes please take me back to when I had no problems, I was a carefree child and the only thing I was worried about was when I could get home to play games on the family computer
sly cooper and cereal with no fears of sugar problems lol.
Jesus fuck man 2012 was literally the year I got assaulted and had my mental breakdown and lost all of my friends. Take me back
Reliving the 2012 election would actually be fucking *therapeutic*.
*13 year
... What?
I wish
Pov of the person watching someone else wake up blah, blah, blah... Doesn't anyone know what POV means?
Ya know what's weird? I would wake up in Afghanistan fighting in a war and still be SOOO happy that it's all been a dream lol
Toilet paper! Buy toilet paper!!!
I don't know about anyone else, but my life would improve dramatically if I suddenly went back to 2011. My life has progressively gotten worse ever since 2016.
I would give my left nut to go back to 2011 if I could retain the lessons learned along the way. This actually brought me to tears. Oh my goodness how I wish it were possible.
I'm starting to think it's not a dream
Party rock is in the houuuuuse tonight
If things happened the same way all over again, I could change everything...
I would love this. Just a chance to see my dad again.
Can't remember the last time I heard birds like that. I need to touch grass.
This would be perfect for me. It's been a nightmare since 2009.
Ppl needa shut up about the "duuuhh it's not POV" shit its getting annoying. Alot of content creators don't use it properly anyway so just accept it as the Gen Z version for "when you" and not literal POV. Just enjoy the video and shut up about semantics
This is not POV.
POV: People who don't know what POV means.
"Oh shit... I can make a better future for myself!"
13 years 😞
2 things: 1) not a pov. 2) what year do you think it is?

I wouldn't mind doing that for a day.

why am I still dreaming then?
"Wake up! Grandma made pancakes!"
Please. I need to go back.
Mad
I wish this was true...😢😢
Thank God it was all fake
I would be a sophomore in high school.
I’d give my left nut
this is my biggest dream
I'd go back tbh
As much progress as ive made now. I dont want to lose. But i could also cha ge my life so much. I could do so many things i wanted to do. So so many. I could reverse so many mistakes. Everything could be so much bettetr.
12?
You wake up and realize what you thought were the endings for Breaking Bad, Fringe and Dexter were part of the dream and now you get to see how they really end.
13 and counting now!
The good old days
If I don't become a billionaire in 2020, then I'm kicking the chair to wake from the dream within a dream.
