I grew up a Sanrio kid! My first memories of Sanrio are watching Hello Kitty Paradise on VHS and DVD and going to the Sanrio Smiles Store with my mom! She gave me this book called Hello Kitty Everything which was a catalog of Sanrio merchandise throughout it's history. A page in it contained a picture of someone's room which was covered floor to cieling in Hello Kitty, I was so jealous! I think Sanrio is a major foundation who I am today LOL.... Once I had access to the internet I was all over youtube watching Sanrio videos and AMV tributes.. I discovered Onegai My Melody and SanrioTown.com and, I also played a variety of total knock-off Flash games on those girlgogames sites or whateva- and once we finally got a Nintendo Wii- I played Hello Kitty Seasons like crazy. Eventually I was able to find a playthrough of Hello Kitty Roller Rescue- but it's still on my bucket list to play it one day! I also discovered Puroland- the Sanrio theme-park in Japan- through videos online.
Unfortunately I started to feel a bit indifferent from my peers as I got older, I was an undiagnosed Neurodivergent trying to fit in. I felt like I needed to leave Sanrio behind in order to be 'grown-up' (I was 10 LOL) like my classmates and was going through a bit of an emo phase in middle-school. I can't recall being all that involved with anything Sanrio during that time. It was sad! But after surviving the hellpit called Junior High, I was thrown into Summer School for High School (mandatory-but also I suck at school)- during some random Lockdown (I live in the US) I was on my phone and I just started watching Sanrio Puroland videos. I think this is where it all went wrong (but good) again. I think if I would have to pick THE hyperfixation of my hyperfixations- it's Sanrio. I went crazy. I had a part-time job ..ish.. drawing commissions for people on Deviantart and every penny I recieved I would spend on Sanrio.
