The magical age of 18.

It felt like the party would never end, but it did.
So I would love to go back and party some more!

Just like me, 18 was phenomenal: lots of friends, lots of parties, lots of girlfriends, lots of fun.

My favorite age was my early twenties. Opportunities I took advantage of are what I am enjoying now; I was intentional about the people I called friends, so I didn't allow just anybody in my circle.

I took personal growth and development very seriously. I read a lot of books. I don't have the luxury of time to read that many books like I used to. and attended different seminars.

Above all, I took my spiritual life and growth seriously; also, I didn't joke with my relationship with God.

Because of how intentional I was then, I must say I am reaping the rewards of those decisions I made and am proud of the woman I have grown to be.

Congratulations for being the woman you sowed in your 20s, for your achievements, and for being so responsible with yourself. You are a woman to admire.

The age I miss most was the age of 12 within this age I entered secondary school newly and it was my happiest time because right from that time I began to see myself in the mist of grown ups our senior ones who came to our class then and began to give us instructions on what to do of which sometimes they punish us for noise making and I feel like being like them one day of which a day came I was like them and grew pass them

If I could choose an age to go back to, it would be 20, right when I started my first year of university. I remember that time as chaotic, but it shaped me into who I am: the excitement of starting something new, the hopes and dreams I had for the future, and the people who influenced my life the most that I met.

I would like to go back to 2019; the year when I felt that I finally reached the best version of me, because I was engrossed in my undergraduate thesis project, I did not stop going on excursions, I met many places and people just as great. That year was also when I met that incredible girl that life had introduced to me years ago and that I thought I would never have anything to do with her, that girl who revolutionized my life breaking all my schemes and who taught me a language of love that I will never be able to speak with anyone else. That year was even the 500th anniversary of my city, which is considered the wonder city, and yes it is, or at least it was at that time for me. I will never forget those fireworks and me smiling unable to sustain so much happiness to see her with me.

It is hard to say... I liked each of my age. I think there were many positive and negative things for each of my age. But if I had to choose one, I would go for 6 years old, when I went to school for the first time. I remember dreaming about the school for around 2-3 years, and finally, when I turned 6, my dream came true :) I really enjoyed my first few years at school :)

I'm glad you enjoyed your early school days, for me it was traumatic, so much so that I don't forget it. But it was outweighed by what came later.
Happy holidays!

It took me a while to scan through my head for my favorite age which I would loved to run back to, well I didn't really hold any in mind but I recall when i turned twenty, I had already written a whole down in my jotter and I eventually achieved all of it,....

My 20th year was good, I was ambitious optimistic, I had a small diary were i wrote everything I knew I really started taking my life seriously from my 20th year 😄...

So it's a year I would love to relive once more....

Interesting what you mention: write down the goals and accomplish them all, it's like a planner. I like that idea and it can work for any age.

I wish I could go back to 2010. That was the happiest holiday with my family. We were all together, financially stable, and able to make significant contributions to the community. But life moves forward, and we must live in the present. I still hope that one day, my family will have the opportunity to make meaningful contributions to the community again. !BBH !LOLZ !PIZZA

I am convinced that if you want something very strongly, it will come true. It happens to me. Maybe if the unit family sets their mind to it, I'm sure the universe will help them with it.
Happy Holidays!

I am into my teenage, still looking ahead to live most in the life. If given a chance, I would love to go back into my childhood days, probably 5-7 years

For me I would go back to 21.
This is a point in my life where I made some "wrong" decisions.
I would start with producing professional music earlier, and build up a real business soon. I would invest earlier in etfs and other products.
And also I would not stop mining bitcoin, like I did. Because everyone said back then that it´s bullshit. :D I had 2 bitcoin but never really cared about (because I think they were worth only a few dollars back then) and I don´t have access to the wallet or the key anymore...
Well never complain about what went wrong in your life, be thankful for what you have now!

That's right, never complain. Life is a school, a university where we learn lessons and where we are presented with opportunities. If something didn't work out, it's because something better will come along.

I wish I can go back to the age 15
This was the year we had so much without knowing what in front of us. There are some decision I would like to change and some memories I would like to live again, I miss my anuty Kate. I wish I had spent more time with her before she passed on.

I think the age of 15 was beautiful for everyone, it was the beginning of the road to being older. Every child wants to be a grown up and every grown-up wants to be a child.
Happy holidays!

Yes, this is very true. This is the age we all want to be grown up and make some decisions without knowing how they will affect our lives.

Thanks for this comment, Happy holiday to you too.

Hello!
I am convinced that every moment lived is unique and memorable, even if it is not as spectacular as one would like. Each stage is a learning experience, a lesson to improve or not. Each age is the cycle in which we define our decisions that will have consequences in the future. I assume that those life lessons are to improve and follow my path that will take me to the unknown, but sure that it will be very good.
Therefore, there is no age I would like to go back to, I prefer to enjoy my present and that is why I celebrate it with you.
Merry Christmas!

¡Hola!
Soy de los convencidos de que cada momento vivido es único, es memorable, aun si no fue tan apoteósico como se quería. Cada etapa es un aprendizaje, es una lección para mejorar o simplemente no hacerlo. Cada edad es el ciclo en que definiremos nuestro albedrío y esto tendrá repercusiones en el futuro. Asumo que esas lecciones de vida son para mejorar y seguir mi camino que me llevará a lo desconocido, pero seguro de que será muy bueno.
Por lo tanto, no hay una edad a la que quisiera volver, más bien disfruto mi presente y por ello lo celebro con ustedes.
¡Feliz Navidad!

I wish to go back to age 16

Because that's when I started my journey on STEEM which has now turned into a life of HIVE.

I'm not exaggerating if I say that in the past 6 years I have probably only had 20-25 days where I did not open up STEEM or HIVE blog website.

If I could go back to start, I would love to be more active myself, as for how I acted in in real life, I was very quiet and just went along with things.

But you have the option to become firmly active in HIVE and take advantage of the fascinating world of web 3.

I often ask myself that question. I don't know if I have a specific age, but I do know that as a child, all of primary school was a very nice experience of friendships, games and fun.

In my opinion this is one of the most difficult questions that I have seen here, and it is because I've enjoyed all my life one way or another. I've loved my early ages, my teenage and now my young years. All of them with particular characteristics and special happy moments, or sad ones. I don't think I'd like to go back the years, I'd like to become older and gain experience and discover real life's sense. And learn everyday and grow as a better person and help others to grow too. 🌻

What is your favorite age you wish you could go back to?

I would simply relive my entire childhood, starting about age 2 until age 12. I'm sort of reliving my childhood through my children: my oldest is almost 12.

If I could go back to any age, I think 18 would be a great choice. At that age, there’s a sense of freedom and new beginnings, along with the excitement of transitioning into adulthood. It’s a time filled with possibilities, exploring new interests, and making lasting friendships.

Age 15

I had less things I worried about at that age. Life was more fun with less responsibilities.

No much expectations
