It was august through december of 2015 for me.
I had reached my peak socially, found a girl I liked to talk to, made some friends. I got back into music, was fleshing out my hobbies and passions and was getting serious about turning my life around. I literally felt like the whole world was at my doorstep until it came crashing down in febuary with the realization that im a massive sped and my optimism was the result of naïevity.

Every day gets better.

Every time I think oh this was good, I think more and remember how much it sucked. I think we remember the good times to keep sane and happier. I loved a lot of my life but forgot how unhappy I was till I sit and think on it. So best time today.

High school for me. I had several girfriends, excelled in my classes, and was even the manager of the basketball team. It was also when I thought up my brilliant creation. After highschool things went downhill greatly for me, starting with my graduation.

I only got recognized for my grades with a Star Pin, yet they had more fancier awards for more important qualities. I should have been highly recognized for my artistic talents I showed in my many art classes for the award ceremonies before graduation day. I felt crestfallen greatly from not getting recognized for any of my talents. I excelled in math too for God's sake!

I had gotten over the award ceremony on the graduation day, but to add lemon juice to an open wound, it was a dark and rainy day that day, and they handed out more talent awards right before handing out any diplomas. When I went up there to get mine, I was feeling depressed, upset, crestfallen and ticked off. When the award was handed to me, I took it without looking anyone in the eye, and I did not shake anyone's hands. I just walked back to my seat in the graduating crowd. Then soon after, I just walked the wrong way up the center aisle, found an isolated table and cried myself out. My mother found me later and comforted me; my father was ashamed of the way I acted, and he would later still be angry at recalling the moment. Tiffany also found me and gave me a caring moment of condolences back there. I gave her a plush Psyduck as a graduating gift beforehand.

Hm. I'd have to say the past nine years have been a rollercoaster of a ride and quite a fucking trip but I met someone who feels like they've been my bestfriend forever, went to college, graduated, and got to go see the Grand Canyon for next-to-free.

All-in-all I'd say it's been better than the other twenty-some years, as far as I can remember anyway.

"Fake it until you make it". If you pretend you're sociable and in control you'll be sociable and in control.


Anyways, best periods of my life. I dunno. I think fondly of my childhood. I believe I might be seeing the best coming up, too. I've been involved in my dad's business since it started. It survived the Great Recession, the first five years that kill most new businesses, a shitty city manager that told us to destroy all our merchandise, and friction within the family. Business is looking good, I've been working on my own appearances, picked up hobbies that don't have to do with video games or the internet, improved my grades, etc. Maybe I'll even be able to get a girlfriend.

I don't know if I have "best period in my life". There are ups and downs in all points in my life. But if I could go back in time, I'd wanna be six. Because then I could see my grandfather again.

I guess every period has its ups and downs. School was nice because of friends but terrible because of school (seriously no adult would do that shit unless paid good money or for extreme nostalgia). College was nice because of friends and great stuff I was learning but I was also working my ass off and eating and sleeping poorly every day. Childhood was nice because I could just sit around and play games all day but I had to deal with my batshit insane family.

Maybe a better question would be: what do you miss about past "good times" in your life that you wish you could have now? As others have said, with the exception of some real bad times everything else seemed pretty good to me- and even the bad times had their share of very rich endearing experiences too.

For me it was the period between graduating high school and moving away to go to cosmetology school. I still had friends, I wasn't losing anybody to marriage or kids, I had enough freedom to take late-night trips to the movie theater or day trips to the next city over... It was great.

And then I moved away and all my roommates hated me (they thought I was weird, which is true but nothing I can really change) and I had no money, friends, or support of any kind in the town I was living in.

I feel like the best period of my life was a few years back, just entering college. Sure it was community college and not a university but it was rather refreshing compared to high school.
Granted, the feeling of it all would eventually die down by my third year in college since the novelty within it became routine to me.

If I had to pick something else, it'd be reconnecting with my dad. Hadn't seen in for a few years due to some family drama but it was nice seeing him, even if a close family member went ballistic (said family member had since then cooled down over that). While getting money from my dad was nice, it was much better just hanging out with him.

You should tell him how you feel, you know? Life is too short and unpredictable, if anything happens to either of you (which it won't, hopefully) that's the sort of thing you don't want to leave unsaid...

My dad and mom live very near to me and I barely see them because I hate their dumb, uncaring guts. How I wish I even had fond memories like yours to look back to! You should cherish what you have!

TBH I believe I've had a great life. The one bad moment was Middle School when I had to change schools, left my many old friends behind and became miserable as a result.
However the best period for me honestly started from High School and is still progressing to this day. High School was what made me who I am today. I made a lot of friends, made it on the honor roll with a GPA of 3.7, beat the shit out of people who would bully me, got recognized for my sporting and artistic talents, and even delivered a great speech for my graduation that I wrote myself. I also started growing a full beard at the tender age of 17, which combined with all of that made me feel great. Being talented at martial arts also helped my self esteem greatly. Even though my father passed away before my graduation, he was very proud of me and considered me to be a true man. He was happy of who I became as a result, and I always feel his presence in my heart, and have no regrets about him. I am currently in university studying Zoology and possibly considering Architecture and I gotta say, it is absolutely breathtaking. My current goal in life is to make adventures where I see them and carve out my own path so one day I have stories to tell my children and they will tell their children. I also wish to see the world and I enjoy traveling and having new experiences. Life will always have a fluctuation of calm tides and raging tsunamis, but it is the solid rocks that plant their feet firmly on the seafloor that will withstand the powerful waves and remain for many generations to come.
