    I’ll bite. Austin, TX circa 2007. Sublet. Moved my (now) wife and one year old into a one bedroom, one bathroom house the size of a shoebox. Cooled by a single window unit, had to steal wifi, and roaches crawled in through the gaps under the doors.

    Ironically, it’s now a fond memory. First place I lived with my new family, it was just for the summer, we had cool neighbors and were like 200 feet from a bunch of really cool local businesses.

      Tame Impala nailed it.

      When we were living in squalor

      Wasn’t it heaven?

      Back when we used to get on it

      Four out of seven

      Now even though that was a time I

      Hated from day one

      Eventually terrible memories

      Turn into great ones
