Geocities was reasonably well archived, do you remember the URL?

I'm in a similar situation, I even remember more or less how it was visually but for the life of me I cannot remember the URL or what nickname I could have used, I cannot find it by my 16yo me nickname I remember :(

Edit: reading the page, it's a scrape from 2009. My page was from 1997-1998 and basically used only by me and my circle of friends, chances are it has been lost forever.

archive.org geocities scrapes go back to 1996, so it is plausible it could have survived:

https://web.archive.org/cdx/search/cdx?url=geocities.com&mat...

If you ever remember any of the details, the CDX API can probably help.

Iirc You can search web archive by string, not just url
