What was the best year of your life?

Mine was 18. I was in college, getting A’s, and doors were opening. I had good friends that I had a lot of fun with. I was happy. Excited for the future. Life seemed so full of possibility.

  1. I had two jobs I really liked, where they seemed to like me and I felt I was somewhat good at what I did.
    My reputation in the town I lived in was changing from bad to good, and people had started smiling at me in the streets instead of scowling.

I can’t imagine people scowling at you in the streets. You seem like such a nice person from your posts!

I was a bad person in the past, and I lived in a small town where rumours travelled far and never died. I was also different enough to stick out like a sore thumb.

Every bad thing I did made people not want their kids, my potential friends, around me. Whenever I met someone new, I heard things like “my father has heard some things about you. He doesn’t want me to hang out with you”

I’m in small town too, but they never say it to my face though,

but I get the gist.

I think having two great kids helped my reputation.

Probably 1996. I had a career I liked and had a whirlwind romance that I still remember. I was really happy from 1993-1996.

  1. I was finishing up my grad school coursework and thesis project lab work, writing my thesis, got engaged, was doing a job I loved (TA); it was great. I would say 2006 was really good too, except 2006 is the year my mom died, so that kinda ruined that year for me. I had a period of remission from symptoms 2005-2008.
