What's been the happiest year or time period of your life so far?

I really enjoyed 2003 and some of 2004. The music scene was really good. The Irish scene was booming. Bell x1, Nina Hynes, Damien Rice, etc etc... Festivals were really good, Witnness, then Oxegen. The summers were really good! I'm listening to a 2003 playlist at the min. Also I was just out of secondary school, the whole world was at my feet, my whole adult life ahead of me! Ireland just seemed really happy! And there was money! :pac: It was probably my favourite time so far. What's been the happiest time period in your life so far?

The last few months. And it just keeps getting better.

My boy racer days. When I was young I had me a little modified car. Every weekend we'd go on cruises or congregate at the back of the B&Q car park where promiscuous young females awaited to be picked up by a fella with a big exhaust pipe or 17 inch rims. It was easier to impress the girls in those days. I know they had a bad reputation, but there was a great sense of community among young motorists then. As someone who is big into cars it was a great time. I refer to it as the Max Power era. Then the recession came followed shortly by Gay Byrne and the modified car culture slowly died.

Love this reply!

The amount of time it must've took to come up with this utter nonsense...

Boii Raceeeeer!

The year I became a father and last year, my first year down under. Exiting times.

Same here. I have had very happy moments but couldnt really say I had a sustained happy period in my life

Seven years ago about this time of year I discovered something special. A surprise. A feeling and a craving that has stayed with me since then. On an ordinary week day during the hum-drum of life something magical happened.

During my lunch time at work I made tea and opened a kit-kat bar. Would you believe one finger was completely filled with chocolate! The other three were like, well, normal kit-kats.
Amazing!

I often wondered if I'd ever find another like it. Sadly, so far, I have not.

padd b1975 · 11-05-2014 08:43AM

Probably my school days, even though it didn't feel that way at the time.

In 2006, I was unemployed for 6 weeks. The only thing I had to do was go to college and study for exams. Would walk around town on a Friday afternoon with a 99 in hand, not a care in the world. Got some decent weather too. Got to sleep in a few days. I did very well in my exams that year too. Last time I can remember feeling no stress or anxiety.

Ahh yes, the auld food anomalies. I once got a packet of Chickatees with a Wheelie in it. Good times.

First year contracting and earning a bloody fortune and living in a great city in Central Europe.

The time I had a poo at Paul's...it was amazing

Gongoozler · 11-05-2014 09:44AM

I haven't ever been happy. I don't quite know what it is. I am feeling quite content lately though, for the first time in my life. I think maybe this is the best I can hope for.

I'm getting to be content. I have a great boyfriend, who I'm trying to convince myself that he loves me. I have a job that I like, probably for the first time ever. I don't care too much that I don't have many friends. I'm financially comfortable. Well if I had a bit more, I'd be happier as I'd be able to afford to live by myself instead of in a house share.

Same here, plenty of happy moments but no one period that sticks out. I'm quite sure though that I wouldn't want to go back, like teens was a lot of fun but where did we get the fecking energy?

Thank you. You have given me hope, and I am buying Kitkats today.

For about a month in 2012.
I think that once you reach your happiest moment, you will experience the biggest low of your life when it's over

I haven't a clue to be honest, just look at the time this was posted :P

DazMarz · 11-05-2014 04:51PM

The summer when I was 16. Had just finished a mini-holiday (Transition Year) and spent that summer having drinks in fields with friends, working part time, fooling around and just having a blast. Didn't realise it at the time, but that was the last summer where I was truly free and had no commitments or anything.

It was great. But you gotta grow up.

SmokeyEyes · 11-05-2014 04:59PM

I'd have to say the past year has been pretty amazing, I've just been very happy and content in life. We got engaged last June after ten amazing years together, I turned 30 in October which I felt really good about and found out a few weeks after that I was pregnant with our first baby!! I've been pretty terrified in the following months because it was all new to me but also so happy and excited. At the moment the baby is due next month just before our 11 year anniversary and we're planning our wedding for the following June and everything just feels really good.

I'm surrounded by so much love and happiness even though we don't have a huge amount of money at the moment and it just makes me so happy to be alive in a non corny way. I have a person I consider the love of my life and my best friend and to know we're going to have a little person we created together next month is incredible.

I'm still terrified of labour but overall I've never been happier and it's made me really appreciate how lucky I've been in life to have that happiness:D

eviltwin · 11-05-2014 05:04PM

25 - 30 yrs, I had all my ducks in a row and felt unstoppable. Got blighted by depression a few months after turning 30 and everything fell to bits. I'm working towards getting back to zero at the moment but still feel I'm walking a tightrope and could fall at any minute. But however bad things are they could always be worse, ultimately despite my health issues I feel okay.

DoozerT6 · 11-05-2014 05:44PM

Definitely my secondary school days. What a great time that was. Nothing has panned out right for me since. I know you make your own luck, but sometimes you also need things to just 'go your way' too. Unfortunately my grand plans of a great career in my chosen field, loads of friends, a lovely hubby/boyfriend and a nice life....all a dream. At almost 40, I have a boring, trained-monkey admin job, no man (ever), and few real friends. I just spent the entire weekend watching tv and surfing the internet. Again. I feel powerless at this stage to drag myself out of this dullness and make the life I know I deserve.

I wish I could go back to being sixteen just for a day. Oh, the talking-to I would give myself about so many things.

Anybody got a Delorean and a Flux Capacitor?

TimeToShine · 11-05-2014 07:04PM

The day I discovered drugs.

deseil · 11-05-2014 07:34PM

When I discovered if you bite both ends off a Twix, you can use it as a straw to suck tea or coffee through...its heavenly chocolatey biscuity caramelly tea mmmmm.

Happiness is a place that is always there inside you. Everyone has a heaven inside.

McChubbin · 11-05-2014 07:45PM

Happiest I've been in a long time was when I spent two days in Barcelona. Fell completely and irrevocably in love with the city and for the last 5 years I've been trying my damndest to save up enough to eventually go back for at least a week. Sadly, life gets in the way and just when I think I've got a hold on my savings, something comes along to put a dent in my funds.
In Barcelona I had no worries, the sun was splitting the stones, there was great craic to be had and I had no stresses or worries. I miss that.

Bpmull · 11-05-2014 08:16PM

There was one week in perticular when I was 18. Within the space of 7 days I passed my driving test, got my leaving cert results and got what I wanted in them, bought my first car which I loved and got my my first choice of college course on the Cao. It was a good week

Sh1tbag OToole · 11-05-2014 08:18PM

The summer of '69, I'll never forgive that Joey fecker for getting married. At the ripe old age of 19, madness. Ruined it all so he did.

What's been the happiest year or time period of your life so far?
