What has been your favorite and least favorite age so far?
It seems as though every age I enter gets better and better. Age 9 was better than age 8 and age 21 was better than age 20. Now I'm at year 22 of my life and I feel it is my best year so far. I'm actually having trouble imagining myself having a better year in the future. Sure, I have been working rigorously this year and have been a little more busy than I have ever been before but that has all been good for me, and so many wonderful things have come together during age 22, more so than any other year. There are still plenty of excellent things that are going to transpire before I reach age 23, too. And who knows what additional surprises will happen. No matter how much better my years get, the next year usually surpasses it.
As for my worst year, I really couldn't say. Age 19 brought on the most challenges and had the potential of really dragging the rest of my life down, but I handled the situations that were thrown at me really well and perhaps they've helped me become a better person. I think they have. I have a feeling that my worst year will come sometime in the future. Who knows what will be the causes of it, but it will be interesting to find out.
As our lives go on, we usually become wiser, healthier, handsomer, more interesting, and our lives are generally easier to handle and we start living some of our previous dreams of our previous years. I am simply becoming a better person as time goes by. Hopefully this will keep up until my dying year.
My fav age was...I guess it was 16. Its where I started going out more and having fun.
I thought my 14th was a pretty good year.
About 10 hours into my 16th and that seems to be doing pretty well, too. XD
Way to answer only half of the question, guys. :-\
My worst age was probably the summer after sixth grade, when I was still eleven. Events during that year sort of caused me to spiral downward emotionally for a few years, until I finally realized what the root of the problem was. But I did, eventually, and I think it had to happen. I doubt I'd be the person I am now if things in that year didn't occur, so I'm grateful, in a way. It's difficult to admit it, but everything happens for a reason, and that proved it for me.
My best year would have to be this one, age eighteen. Granted, not everything has been in my favor (at least family-wise), but I'm glad it's been working out that way, as it motivated me to move into an apartment (which should happen within a month), and I'll be incredibly thankful for the independence I'll attain when that happens. Also, that leads to other possibilities that never would've had the chance of happening beforehand, which just makes this year that much better. This year has changed me so much, and there have been so many things that have permanently changed my life in an amazing way - especially recently. I can only hope that the rest of my years will be filled with as much hope and happiness as this year has brought.
The Victorian Age.
EDIT: *Reads thread* Now. As I slowly get more freedoms at the home, I'm enjoying it more. Then again, I liked it when I was 2 and I could do whatever I wanted.
Now. I'm going out more than ever and hence, more fun. Plus, I'm sane now.
Least favorite: 14. ****, that year sucked horribly.
On reflection, my worst age was about 11 ~ 14. I was perfectly content at the time and it wasn't a bad age at the time, but looking back on it I really don't like who I was back then. Thankfully, since then I've matured.
16 is the best in my opinion for who I am right now, but the year itself is turbulent - GCSEs coming up, see also: huge stress deposit. Other than that, however, it's a great age, and kinda like Dexter I tend to find each year to be better than the last. I've never really reached my birthday and then thought "Well, that was a shatty year, thank god that's over, let's hope this next one's a hell of a lot better or I'm gonna puke," and I'm glad of that. As far as 16's concerned, I'll treat the GCSEs as a blip in an otherwise - so far - great age. I'm really pleased with how I've grown up and I'm satisfied with who I've become.
Best age: 9
Worst age: 10+
Maryland really sucks....
worst: I would have to say 19 because after the porn and fags get old you have to wait 2 more years before you can drink but then getting drunk gets old. I guess being 24 would have to be fun sence I'v had 3 years to support my gambling problem,lol. I just suck at life.
Worst: 13. I hated everyone in school, I did ****ty in school, and I hated being at home. Everything sucked.
Best: 18. First year out of school/first year of college. First year with a job and making a decent wage. And overall, I was enjoying my new found freedom as an adult with the lack of parental supervision.
So far 19, has been rather poor. ****ty job(recently quit), single, and I'm doing poorly in school. Things could be a lot better, and hopefully they will change soon.
worst: 16, my eyes were opened up to a whole lot of things at that time
best: although 17 had its moments and 19 was insanely fun, i'll have to pick 23 as the ultimate best. first time i had my own apartment, a whole new level of independence and responsibility, first time i truely felt like an adult.
