(+) Yeah! (+)

2007 baby

Unquestionably.
---

2007 was the second worst year for me so I'd go with now.
---

That's a tough one. I'm pretty damn happy right now but 2007 was my senior year of high school and it was mostly a fucking blast. But.. Guess I'll say I'm happier today than then because I've got my shit together and am pretty well off
---

Obviously. Honestly it's probably irrational to not simply off yourself the moment you graduate from college, as everything simply gets progressively worse after that.
---

No. Typical teenage angst with suicidal thoughts? Definitely not worth looking back. While I might have lost free time, my current income, positive mental state and girlfriend make it all up.

Hell no, 10 years ago I was angry, alone, bitter as fuck to not be getting anywhere, and not able to go places without family driving me.

If I could write a letter to myself in the past it would be to do whatever it took to get that driver's license. Beg for the Mc Donalds, Burger King, close by fast for job and then get into the job field I am now after 1 or 2 years flipping burgers.
---

Hell fucking no. Way better now./

10 years ago PlanetSide was at its peak

Now we have no PlanetSide

But anime is the best it has ever been so I'm conflicted

Well I remember 2007 for people in my school dying and my crush almost dying.
And now I am stuck in extremely weird place in my life trying unsuccessfully to get my shit together, so they both suck.

I was suicidally depressed ten years ago and now I'm not, so I'd say I'm enjoying it a lot more.

similar to this.

2007? Lol fuck that shit, grade 8 was torture.

Thank god my life now is pretty much a living television show.
---

I was just about to start my first attempt at college ten years ago.

There are aspects of my life at that point that I prefer to now, but on the whole my life is way the fuck better now.
---

21 years old....

i'm making smarter decisions compared to when i was that age, didn't learn how to save money properly till the mid 20's.
---

My life is much better now. Nothing wrong with 2007 but a lot of the goals I had then have either come to fruition or will soon.
---

Its better now. 10 years ago I was still in school
---

hell yeah wtf.

2007, still in high school. Most fun I've had in my life.


Now I'm just a boring adult working the daily grind with no ambitions or goals in life. A walking zombie.
---

About the same-some stuff is better, others worse so it all evens out.
---

Yes, I miss my teenager rebellious years. Good old days. Went to so many concerts and parties. I basically lived life to the fullest.

I think I enjoyed life more 10 years ago, only because I could hang out with friends all the time. Now I have much fewer friends I do hang around with, but also don't have many opportunities to do hang out with them.

Wouldn't really say life 10 years ago was better even if I enjoyed it more.

A 17 year old turbo-virgin vs a 27 year old nurse who is about to move into his first house and is getting married next summer.

Yeah, I'd say I'm enjoying life more now.
---

Better job
Better physique
Better girlfriend

I would say so, yeah.
---

FUCK no
---

10x better now than 10 years ago easily.
---

No. I had less debt and other worries back then.
---

10 years ago was the deepest pit of hell where my whole life started spiraling out of control.

Nowadays is still hell but at a shallower level, so I guess I'll say it's better now.
---

10 years ago was pretty bad. I was depressed, lonely, and suicidal, with no real plan in life. Now, I'm fit, pretty financially secure with a good job, and a great girlfriend. So, much better now.

Even if life was better now my brain chemistry feels such like I just can't care and enjoy things like I did when I was younger.

Hopefully this is just me and can be corrected.
---

10 years ago happened to be a pretty good year for me, but then I had 2 really shitty years right after that so I voted no.
---

In 2007, I got in a car wreck that left me in a wheelchair for three months and destroyed my left leg so utterly that I have been, and will likely always be, in incredibly intense and near constant pain. I learned two things that night, that the Jaws Of Life are the loudest fucking things in existence, and that I will never wear a seat belt again.

I'd take any other moment in history over 2007.

God damn, sorry to hear that. Have you ever considered having your leg amputated or would that even get rid of the pain
---

I wish I could go back
---

You mean, did I enjoy life more 10 years ago? Yes, I think I can definitely say I did.

I have full use of my leg, I even go running a couple times a week. I just have extreme muscular and skeletal pain every moment of the day. It honestly doesn't bother me too much anymore, as I've lived with the pain for so long that it's a normal thing to me now.

On the plus side, my tolerance for pain is extraordinary now. Last year I broke three bones in my hand and didn't know for almost a month when my doctor buddy saw my hand. I just thought I had a pretty bad bruise.

2007 was worse to me that 2017 is.
---

Now, ten years ago we hadn't even gotten Bin Laden yet.
---

No, I mean it wasn't bad for me 10 years ago, but things today are better!
---

I actually got to live this past weekend like 10 years ago because my wife took the kids out of town and i can say that now is much better.

same. life is better but I don't have the same joy I once had. seen too much in that time.
---

I was overweight, neurotic, depressed and stuck in some redneck town.

Now I'm skinnier, more confident and live in NYC w/ my giant titted girlfriend.

Life. Is. Good.

I was 10, all I wanted was new video games and Yugioh cards but now looking back on the hundreds of cards lying on my bedroom floor and the PS4 and Xbox games are just accumulating dust...

Feels bad man :'(
---

No, high school was the worst time of my life
---

I suppose so
---

No, but I had potential back then!

That's sad as fuck. Why can't we just stay loving things like we do when we are young?
---

Culture was way better back then but now I have more money, hard decision tbqh

Bump

Better now, 10 years ago my wife and I were struggling just to get by in the SF Bay area. We left that area 9 years ago and now we are doing significantly better, even own our own home.
