    2017, I graduated, I literally have one of those “I took a bus to the city one day with a list of craigslist addresses to interview for a sublet, and the first one I chose with a blind older lady, and then I took a bus there a week later and moved in with a suitcase. Didnt know a single person in NYC. Didnt have a job. No money. Just had to figure it out. Cut off all family. All ppl from undergrad, and highschool – I blocked on all social media. It was like a whole new life. Experiencing the city that summer of 2017 was magical. Seeing everything for the first time. Wandering around the neighborhood and seeing a sign for central park, not realizing i lived a few blocks away cause I had no idea anything about the city.

    The year I got engaged and married. We’ve been married 20 years now. It’s still wonderful, but that was a time I’d love to relive. All that positive change.

    1991/92, the year I returned from the Persian Gulf War. I experienced clarity unlike anything I had seen before or since. I knew what was important in life & what was not. Life has a way of convincing you that the most mundane of things are important. Living in life & death has a way of showing you otherwise.

    The year dating from when I moved in with my husband, my health was a lot worse (chronic fatigue) but there was so much absolute joy for both of us. We’re still really good 25 years later, but damn 1999-2000 was wonderful.

    ’95. It was a good year for me. It was a very busy year on the farm, but during the school year I had a lot of autonomy I could treat my parents house like an apartment. I didn’t have money, but didn’t need any. I had a car, a couple bucks for gas, and I could just do what I wanted.

    It was a good year. I was 16/17 and didn’t have a care in the world.

    1. Best year ever so far.

    1. Just graduated and life was full of promise. I miss that time so much

    1. Freshly graduated high school and entering into college while also working for the first time. Man that was the best year. Everything was a new experience.

    1. Enlisting right out of high school would’ve been good in the long run for me.

    15.5 – 16.5. I’d make some very different choices.

  33. Successful_Towel5980 Avatar

    I would want to reexperience the year. I turned 18 because that’s the year. I became independent and I would’ve planned my life out a little differently and took things a little more seriously I am 28 years old for context and I am barely doing the things I’ve always wanted to do in life, but I do wish I would have done them sooner.

    2010-2011 to make better decisions for myself before joining the military. I would still serve, I would just go about it a little different.

    I would have taken that job with Google even though it was “boring ” and stayed on for a few years and made bank, but first I would have called in a bomb threat at Logan on 9/11

    the last year my grandad was alive, ive forgotten what his sounds like, and i cant even remember the smell or name of the cologne he used.

    When i was really little i was sick a lot, and my mom worked multiple jobs to make sure i could see the doctor when i needed to.

    My grandfather would hold me, and let me sleep on his lap, draped across his chest, after a puking episode. his cologne always made me feel safe, and the sound of him singing old crooner tunes (Frank Sinatra mostly) left me calm, and helped me sleep through the worst of it.

    I could really use that sense of security and peace right now.

    2012, so I can be a better mom to my son. I wasn’t bad or abusive. I just suffered from post partum depression. So I was barely there mentally

    None if I can’t change anything. If I can change something, maybe 2010.
