What it says on the tin really : what was the best part of your life, the time you can honestly say “it was (or is, if it’s right now) the time that I really enjoyed the most”
Knowing Fab I expect most of you will say “it’s all been great” or “I wouldn’t change a thing as all parts of my life have made me the person I am today”, but for one day only you’re not allowed to say that. You HAVE TO (honestly, it’s in the rules!) specify one particular era!
For me (despite all the caveats about it all being good and bad in their own way and making me person I am today blah-de-blah) I think the late 80s / early 90s* as a teen leaving school and going to Uni was the absolute best.. I’d relive those days in a heart beat!
What about you Fabsters!!
(*yes, I know those dates don’t tally as a 44 year old on here!  ) |

Now.
To be honest, I haven't enjoyed most of my life.
However, since splitting from the ex, finding myself and building my confidence (partly down to fab), I have had one of the best years I can remember, even though it's been a really tough one for multiple reasons. |

Now is the best time for me. I don't work, I have enough money, fewer responsibilities than ever in my adult life and I'm in good health.
Looking back on my teenage years they weren't great, my childhood was good in parts and horrible in others, 20s to 40s was pretty good but beset with worries. My fifties was great but now COVID is (hopefully) on the wane I reckon the next few years are going to be epic

2001 was amazing. I was 17 so I had no responsibilities, all I had to do was turn up to A Level lessons, I had a piss-easy well-paid part time job, a great body, about a million different boyfriends, went clubbing every week, saw my friends at school every day and felt like I had the world at my feet.
Other periods in my life have been wonderful but that’s always a single year that stands out as one where I just really, really enjoyed myself. |

On and off most years have been decent. I suppose when I really progressed at school getting into I.T., football team, being with mates, girls, getting into heavy rock. So many good times growing up. |

Has to be the 1960s during which I went from a 20 yr old to a 30yr old.
It was the era of Mini Coopers and Mini Skirts, Pirate Radio, Mg Midgets and Jaguar E Types, Rolling in money one year and broke the next year, Keys in the bowl house swinging parties. Good jobs and bad jobs, Watneys Red Barrel and Babycham, free love. Introduction of the breathalyser(Slowed us down) Cheap foreign holidays, Carnaby Street and Prospect of Whitby when in London. I could write a book about it.
Happy days and sad days, but If I could put the clock back it would be to the swinging 60s. |

The year before I went to university was pretty good, so around 1981, then some bits in my early 30’s were quite fun, but considering that was 25 years ago that’s quite a depressing thought. And there’s a lot less days ahead than there were behind, hopefully it’s not all downhill from here |

Honestly OP?
It's been great for the most part, those that haven't been have helped shape me into the woman I am today (although some I'd gladly have skipped). Maybe in a few decades when I'm closer to your age I might look back at the halcyon days and have a particular favourite era but there are years I've loved in all my life.
Rules schmules.

I don't know, actually. Most of it has been pretty challenging.
Maybe the bit between the ages of 14-16 where I was reasonably carefree? Although uni was, in retrospect, pretty decent too, despite having my son to think about and barely any brass farthings to rub together. |

I feel much the same - it's like reinventing yourself isn't it? |

For me 1990 - 95 was great. I had an absolutely great sex life (though vanilla, but it was different times), and had my whole life ahead of me.
Honestly though, I think my best years are in front of me - I only started living this life in November after years of purgatory, so I'm very optimistic for the future and loving life now!!!!!! |

It would have to be the 90's as that was a purely hedonistic time for me. I was young, had no real responsibilities and spent quite a few years partying hard.
I love my life now, but those years were fun just for the sake of fun. |

For me jo, it would have to be now, since myself and John have been together. Hes shown me that I am enough,he brought me out of myself, given me the spark back that I had lost many years before and helped massively in making me a more confident person |

For me it's been my early childhood up to age 10 when leaving primary school. We were poor but I had a lovely childhood. A kid with friends and no worries.
I didn't enjoy high school and adulting is just meh. |

I look back very fondly on my early 30s, the years before the pandemic.
I thrived after ending a long, not great relationship at the end of 2015. Made loads of new friends quite quickly, developed a lot more confidence, just enjoyed living life on my own terms without having to compromise. Big lifestyle changes and all for the best
A few things are very different now, some of it good, some not so good |

I'm living in it. Discovered the real me after stripping away some stuff that needed to be gone.
Started to like myself, have confidence, blah blah blah. It's dead good |

My 30s have been a huge learning curve both sexually and on a personal level, I have regained my confidence and achieved some monumental goals that previously would have seemed like too much of a task or I’d have questioned my ability to achieve.
I’ve suffered my first real experience of loss after the death of both my grandparents last year and I’ve reevaluated what is truly important to me, removing toxic people from my life who add no value to me, making new friends and recently changed jobs, I generally feel like I have a new lust for life xx |

I absolutely loved turning 30. My life was sorted and I was having an amazing time, on some levels.
Nothing however compares with now. I have grown exponentially over the years and the 30-year old me lies in the shadows of who I am now.
People who knew me 5 years ago would not recognise me now, and I'm doing it all with K. I've never been happier
