i kind of put my emo phase (in the sense of enjoying the aesthetics and subculture but not really participating in it) behind me as i grew up and rarely if ever listen to the music of that era any more but when i do i can feel awfully nostalgic in a way that i don't get for other music. i totally hated my life back then, in ways that aren't really familiar or pertinent to me now, but sometimes i wish i could go back and be that person again. sorry to hear that you're having a rough go of things right now. sometimes you just gotta sing along to an entire album alone in your car
