Best days of your life?

[YZF600R]

Is it true that the best days of your life were at school? Does life begin at 40? Are some psychologists correct when they theorise that you're happy when young, happy when old but miserable as sin during the "middle ages"?


1. How old are you now?

2. At what age do you consider the best time of your life, so far? (And why?)


--

I'm 24. I consider the 'best days of my life' either in Year 9 at school (Aged 13/14) due to no real responsibility; or first year of college (Aged 16/17) due to the feeling of freedom post-School and with the ability to drive etc.

I'm 31 (for a couple more days). Best days of my life so far? Hmmm. Uni comes pretty high on the list, but then so does now I'm self-employed. Tough question, mainly becuase you can only define them in hindsight.

I'm 28. I reckon around 21 to 24 were the best years so far, due to new-found independence, earning a bit of money for the first time, an exciting new career and lots of time to spend with good friends.
25 to 27 were also pretty good, but the memories of them were then ruined by an ex-girlfriend. The first half of this year has been great in terms of career, travelling and new experiences, but still marred by the after-effects of said ex. But that'll fade in time, and things are looking up for the future.

Best time of my life is always here and now. Its what you make of it.

51 now, best days of my life, anytime before health and safety was invented.

Best years of my life so far must be when I was at uni at the age of 22 - 25. I had tried working after college but that did not work out to well, so I thought I would give uni a try. All I can say is that it was the best thing I ever did and I now at the age of 28 trying to work out how to go back.

2. Probably sometime between the ages of 6/7 and 9/10, primary school time, no financial worries, summers spent catching grasshoppers and tadpoles in the little village I lived in at the time...

Since then, high school was utter hell, hated every day there and it stripped me of all self confidence that I had, subsequently I didn't go onto college or Uni. From 18/19 until now its been the usual modern day stresses and strains, financial strain, women and love problems (or to be more accurate, a lack of...), luckily my career is starting to look up having relocated 9 months ago, and I can honestly say I am more happy now than I have been at any time in the 15 years, so things are starting to look up.

I know that sounds a bit depressing, and I know things could be a lot worse, I still have my health, a decent job, a few good friends, and I'm grateful for what I do have, so its not all bad!

I do think (or hope) the best days of my life are still to come though...
