126 Watching 90s Music Videos with the 90s Girlfriend I Never Had

I finally met the girl I grew up dreaming about meeting in the 90s. It took me until the late 2010s but I found her!

We met in a waiting room somewhere. There was a TV with satellite and a remote control and we were waiting ages. I had given up on TV for a long time among other things that used to give me joy, so I couldn't even muster the energy to flick through those hundreds of channels of nothing so I let her flick through. We made small talk while flicking and talked about stuff that used to be good but not anymore. It got replaced by garbage.

Then we found the 90s music channel. Where did this come from? Those feelings of being a lonely kid wishing for a girlfriend came flooding back to me. The songs were so nostalgic and fun and sweet and so very very cool that I just started weeping. I heard her humming the songs. I looked over and she was weeping too!

We started talking. Really talking. We had so much in common. She's around the same age as me and expressed those feelings in a way that I felt but had a lot of trouble expressing back then. She looked so beautiful when I took a real look at her. She had long blonde hair with fringe and had soft, beautiful features, the kind of girl I dreamed about meeting back then.

Our relationship blossomed and now we spend many an evening in front of the TV on that music channel, reminiscing about the 90s. If only I could go back in time to that lonely kid and tell him he'll meet someone, a real 90s someone he always wanted to meet!
