Very well said and so true too

when i was too stupid to know better, more i know now worse it just gets

My 20s were the best time of my life

Why: probably because it all happened in the 1980s when most of the men had hair and looked like "sex-on-legs-types-of-pretty-boys"

Oh and the music was good too - the electronic era and flambouyant dress sense accompanied by lots of hair

<--Self confessed hair person.

I also had my son 1986 so another good reason why my 20's were good

My fav. time was when i was 7 or 8 yrs old.....no worries.........no knowledge of the world around me..........school ..homework.......play.....food...sleep.
wow that was the time........age corrupts for sure.

Age does not corrupt.

People do.

Age matures.

Like good wine.

i used to think that my teen years were the best time of my life...

but i think differently now... im in my mid-20s and so far i have learned a lot and still working on learning much much more...i have been hurt, i have loved and i have lived...no plans on backing out on all of these....

Child? Teens? Early 20's? Late 20's? Early 30's? Late 30's? - doesn't matter, i enjoyed the past and i'm choosing to enjoy the coming years.


<---- ok ok, melodramatic

I try to embrace each year of my life but if I had to choose it would be my 40's for sure. I travel abroad and in USA, felt like I could make anything happen, had a great spouse and life was good. I am in my new life now, 46 now and I look forward to the future.

Having read everyone's reply, I have to agree with some of you, living in the NOW is the best part, which I think we tend to learn at a later age. Every stage is beautiful, because it stands on its own and we learn from it what we want to learn. Sometimes that learning happens at a later stage in life, when we remember.... but learning we still do.
I am 51 and I think I am now more aware, so not much gets lost in the happening, at least for me.
Lost youth is a big word, in my opinion nothing is lost. Aged doesn't mean more boring, uglier or whatever tag you want to put on it. Age makes things better if you choose that. Life is all about choices. Yes wisdom makes up for a lot of lost years, regardless of youth, for we can be wise even when very young and blessed you are and also cursed, ha a paradox. Yet I would not want that any different.

To say there is no future, or no joy because of the changes in the world, well, we live in awesome times I believe. Sure lots of pain, lots of tragedies, yet also lots of great changes and a deeper shift I believe in people overall. I happen to love life, have not always, but now I do, and that has happened thru self awareness, growth, exploring, willing to change and alway learning, to be openminded and to never say never, and to shift thinking into the positive. I don't mean here to be ignorant and denying reality. I am very down to earth, sometimes too much, yet have learned to accept different ways.

Well I am not writing a book here yes? Sorry, you guys got me going.

The past 122+ years....

Hhhmmm...I guess, for me, it would have to be my 20's. Early, middle, and late.

I am 66 years old. The happiest time of my life is when I was raising my daughter who is now 44 years old. I was a single parent raising her. It wasn't work, it was a lot of fun. In addition to that time, I also enjoyed her as a little girl. THAT is the favorite time of my life.

Now, I am happier now, more content with myself, my life, and having more fun than I ever have. 50 is my decade, it started out good, and has kept going!

Early 20s till...... mid 30s

Spent 15 years following bands, getting pie eyed, floor to kip on in 99% of the places visited and saw hundreds of great bands, spent hours chatting with them after sound checks/gigs, end of tour parties........ ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... happy days

Easy.....

The birth of my daughter 'Bethany Megan in 2001

The birth of Oliver David in 2003.... I cried!!!!

and

Christmas 1988... last time that all my school friends were together... The Pogue's 'Fairytale of New York' was top of the music charts in the UK...

Every Christmas when it's played... I remember us all together... we were fearless... the world belonged to us, no one else!!!!

Obviously.. we have all moved on and gone our separate ways..... 20yrs later I'm still in contact with most of them....

I think right now is the best time. I feel more at peace than I did when younger. I'm still making some of the same mistakes but I don't care as much (about anything but being happy) and I know now that things will pass. I don't consider my youth lost.

Twelve to eighteen. Those were the days! Yeah, there were some painful things, but it was overall fantastic! Every time my old friends and I get together, that is the time we talk about with the most nostalgia.

I'm with you there...I used to be a real hellion....

I still am.But actually I'm

i am 46 this year and can honestly say i have never felt so confident about myself as i have this year- go figure ha ha !!

Ok maybe used to was too strong a word....
