So, two years ago, I was just coming off a bad breakup and dealing with depression at the worst its ever been. The summer before, I had planned to kill myself shortly after my birthday, but was able to get help and get stabilized. I left an incredibly toxic job, but was still stuck in retail.
Early that year I got a new job, the first "real" job I've felt I had. I started dating more, and building up a lot of self confidence. I started watching what I eat and paying attention to my body. Then a year ago, I got a job offer for my absolute dream job pretty much out of nowhere, and started my career in addiction services. A few months after that, I reunited with my first real work crush, years after we'd left the job we met at, and I found out she wanted me just as much. All of the sudden, it honestly felt like a whole new life had fallen into my lap. By the end of the year, I'd moved into a new apartment with her, and proposed in front of her family on Christmas eve.
Life still isn't perfect. I still have a lot of the same problems and struggles I did before, but for the first time in forever, I can honestly say that I believe things are going to turn out right in the end, and that I have the confidence in myself to recover. It's a lot intimidating how fast everything has changed, but it really shows how unexpected life can be.
You’re enjoying a Reeling in the Years episode and on comes Westlife/Boyzone song...please don’t remind me of that awful period in our history. Also none of their songs work with our history. Dickheads!

Everyone’s favourite substitute history teacher just never gets old. I exclusively talk to the man behind it all, producer John O’Regan and what made Reeling In the Years become such a cultural behemoth in Irish society.
I was not previously aware that 1965 was the first year Ireland entered the Eurovision. But as I listened to Butch Moore’s ‘Walking The Streets In The Rain’ act as the soundtrack to footage of Val Doonican celebrating 21 weeks in the UK charts, I was left thinking; how great is this show?
That is a rhetorical question, of course, aimed at a generation of people who love little more than settling down to an episode of Reeling In the Years. Like Ireland’s distinguished Eurovision history, it is etched in the collective national memory.
The concept of the fact-based show is simplicity at its finest – the biggest events of a particular year illustrated with deeply informative subtitles that demonstrate peak concision. Starting at 1962 and running all the way to 2009, each offering plays out to the music of the year over 25 minutes or so of pure nostalgia. There are no commercial breaks, either.
The man behind the years
While preparing this article, I had the pleasure of speaking with the Reeling In the Years producer John O’Regan about the show’s legacy. John, who is personally responsible for every word of the aforementioned subtitles, spoke of a “modest show” but there is much to brag about when a team as small as the Reeling crew – “one or two researchers, me as the producer, and a video editor along with a sound dubbing engineer” – created such longlasting magic.
The incredible final product measured against the minuscule size of the crew makes the endeavour all the more remarkable. As John explained to me in our conversation, Reeling In the Years is the Irish version of similar ventures predating the series, including the BBC’s The Rock ‘n’ Roll Years and Granada’s The Rock and Goal Years. This is where he got his inspiration. The rest is history.
Its popularity has endured to such an extent that, despite repeated showings, it returns to RTÉ One every August when the Six One news is temporarily reduced to 30 minutes.
And with justified reasoning. It is the most succinct history lesson one could rightfully expect.
Therein lies the magic of Reeling In the Years; the ability to make you feel a part of the

Thank you all for coming together to help a stranger grieve on the internet. You're all beautiful people. I hope every day that passes brings you greater and greater joy.

Thank you everyone who is chiming in. I'm listening to every song and adding most of them to a Playlist. So many of these songs I already knew about, but never thought to include them in my list. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. You're good people.

In the beginning of the year, I accepted the offer to be the YMD leader for my district since there was no leader. That's when I started to really see fanatical. It started in August. I was doing shakubuku with a WD member from the NSA days. She was trying to push me to make friends with one person I had shared nam myoho renge kyo with. When I told it took time for me to make friends with people, she said, "You need to make friends more quickly." (As I type this, I am thinking, "The nerve of this fanatical woman!") . Also, for months to come, she would ask me if I got in contact with that young man which was a no. Later on that month, I had a financial aid crisis. Along with the practical scholarship search method, I also, handled it the SGI way: chant like your hair is on fire for 60+ minutes, shakubuku like it's the NSA days, participate in Soka Gakkai activities, and receive some encouragement, which boiled down to: think positive and don't doubt. I shakubuku'ed x>200 students. Long story short, it didn't keep me from losing my enrollment and dorm housing. I had to live under a clandestine arrangement, however I was just determined to have legitimate housing. So many nights, I was in study rooms chanting and furiously rubbing my beads together like a stark raving madman; and I participated in Soka Gakkai activities with the hopes of accruing enough good fortune to turn my condition around. I did it in spite of inconvenience, and preference. I participated in a Soka Spirit toso with the same WD and her MD husband knowing all I had to eat for breakfast was a cookie, which was insufficient. (Of course, my stomach unfortunately made that fact known to everyone in the main Gohonzon room during silent prayer). I went to another district's district discussion meeting with her husband, and at his behest, I read the lyrics to the god-awful song "I Seek Sensei". (And when I say god-awful, I mean right up there with Rick Pino's "Spin Me Right Round"). And I was encouraged by a Many Treasures member use my ongoing struggle as an experience and conclude it with determinations to win. It only made me feel worse. In December, I tried to get a place of my own in Atlanta,Georgia, and go to the December 16 meeting, the last activity of 2017. When my room wasn't ready, as planned, I spent the night at a homeless shelter. The day afterwards, my room was ready and I was able to go to the December 16 meeting. Afterwards, I learned that my room had

Burning dry grass in the fields is the next proposition. But a government that has been wrong once will be wrong again.
I think it is water pollution by the tanneries.
