Meeting new people and doing what you want. Going out often, drinking excessively, and doing very stupid things with (hopefully) very few consequences. Having relatively few binding commitments, whilst having the liberty and resources to immerse and challenge yourself intellectually in whatever really interests you most.
I can't life getting much better than that, though for the sake of myself and pretty much everybody else on this forum, I hope it does.
At 22, I have to say 17 was a great year. The year I lost my virginity ( ) and really discovered nightlife. Traveled quite a lot with (the girl who was then) my best friend. I was a romantic optimist, yet my heart didn't belong to anyone. Life was good. The girl and I are not close anymore, I live abroad and I'm already a bit fed up with clubbing. Will try my best to make this year amazing, but summer is starting with heartache so As others mentioned, the year I have a baby
i always hope that the next year will always be a bit better than then last.
but then again my life feels very suffocating and always has done ever since i can remember, cos i have a helicopter mum and i am a cotton wool kid. so ultimately i think im going to be happiest when i finally feel some real independance and hopefully tht will either be when i start college in sept this year or 2014 when i start uni.
or maybe when i find true love... whatever comes first!
You can think that life peaks at 25-40, but remember this; You could be dead this time tomorrow.
I'll neg the first person to say "YOLO."
For some reason, this reminded me of this great quote:
“Maybe there is no Heaven. Or maybe this is all pure gibberish—a product of the demented imagination of a lazy drunken hillbilly with a heart full of hate who has found a way to live out where the real winds blow—to sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whisky, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love and not getting arrested . . . Res ipsa loquitur. Let the good times roll.”
Depends. I had a good childhood but particularly enjoyed 9-11. Later my sex maniac years 16-18 and then 20-22. These contrast with really horrible times 11-16 19-20 22-24. The horrible times came about as a result of the good times. I think of them as growing pains.
I think life will be better in future. Had i always had the experience i have now the bad times wouldnt have happened.
