I'd say now. I've lived a long 37 years and I've got to say that despite all the craziness that happens, right now I'm happier than I've ever been. <3
@CompassionateDreamer8522
That's wonderful to hear!

What was the best phase in your life? What made it so good?
It was back when I was a long distance runner when I was pretty young,...the last 3 years of HS and the 1st year of college. I loved the running so very much. It was such a great thing for my mind and helped in so many ways in my life when I was "nothing but a baby." 
I loved doing the road races,....the races held to all the public that had the courses over parts of cities. It was nice being around the running community and there were so many nice people involved in that, which I never found in many other sports.
@Amelia2324
I hear you, running made me always feel good too and yeah, it feels so good to be around people who share the same love for a sports. I had to change to walking, how about you?
@amiablePeace77
I had stopped going to college back then, at that point, as was busy woking 2, non-thinking physical types of jobs. I did stay in one of those fields for over a decade, until I hurt my back real badly. So, I just stopped running, due to all my job work
@Amelia2324
Very sorry to hear that you had a back injury, hope it's better now?
I would say my best phase would be when I spent time with my best friend when I was a teenager. Even though sadly we're no longer friends, my time spent with her were some of the best memories. We'd have sleepovers almost every weekend (we'd take turns on whose house we'd be going over to), spend hours drawing, writing fanfiction, playing Dance Dance Revolution and Animal Crossing (the old Game Cube version which I still think is the best one), listen and discover new music together, and completely nerd out on anime and manga. She's the only person I've ever spent 4 hours talking on the phone with and the only person who never got tired of watching the movie Labyrinth with me.
There's a plush doll of an anime character she gave me a long time ago for my birthday that I still have. I've since taken him with me to all the places I move to for my wildlife jobs. Honestly, I hope she's living a good life out there. :)
@cafedaydreams
Only if you're really connected to each other one can talk for 4 hours on the phone, it shows you truly had a strong bond. Sorry to hear that you went separate ways but I hope looking back at those beautiful memories will always put a smile on your face.
Ummm...best phase in my life....it was when I was carefree and stress free like a child. I was so passionate at that time that failing doesn't even come to my mind. It was wonderful phase of my life, working like hell for achieving my dreams , everythingwas so positiveand lively. That was so wonderful. I wish I would become that myself back.
@Nanako17
Life changes, we change and we ask ourselves "What happened, where did my dreams go?" This can hurt a lot. Sometimes though, we can pick up where we once left. I hope this will happen to you 
Thank you for your kind words😊❤ @amiablePeace77
@amiablePeace77
What was the best phase in your life?... What made it so good?.....
To be honest.... There have been many various phases in my lifetime that I would consider the best (for various reasons). I Think the older you get, you are able to look back and appreciate the many various phases that made it the "best" for those times in your life.
EAMPLES:
**Being a Kid / Teenager, growing up in my home-town, running around carefree with all my friends at the time without a care in the world~
**Moving out on my own... Becoming a mother for the first time (and all the MANY first times that brought for me and my baby) ~
**Meeting the love of my life and all the many wonderful times we've had and shared over the years~
**Buying our first home and sharing our first Christmas there as a family~ Or all the other many family times that have been shared~
I could go on and on....theres too many things that make up the "Best" of our lives to just ever pin-point yourself to only "one"~ 
@PoliteOcean
I like your point of view, maybe "the best phases" would have been better. There are so many good things that happen in life when we notice them. Thanks for sharing all these wonderful times 
The best phase in my life is currently now as I am loved, I am doing well (have shelter, food, etc.), I am mostly happy and I am thriving better than I used too!
@LavenderGoddess
I'm so so happy for you that you feel good in life!
@amiablePeace77
the best phase in my life so far, was about 2 years ago, when I was with my boyfriend, I felt loved and validated
@SpicyHeart
I hope that by coming here you will love and validate yourself, hugs. Life is hard without it
Thanks, already feel better today
@SpicyHeart
Good to hear SpicyHeart, you must have done something right , hope it's even better tomorrow.

@pamharley003
The belief in ourselves is the key to open doors in life. Thanks for sharing that inspiring quote with us!
@amiablePeace77
I feel I am in the best stage of my life. In December I can officially begin practicing as a student therapist. 7 cups has given me the confidence to be able to take on a variety of clients from different cultures. I don't get that opportunity just threw my university. I have a learn so much valuable information that will carry me through my career. I am so thankful to 7 cups for this opportunity.
@Misty72
This is amazing! I'm so so happy for you! I guess you can hardly wait December to arrive . 7cups has made a big positive impact to my life as well.
Now----------Although I still struggle with things I feel like right now is my breakthrough point where I am finally becoming someone and being productive with my life and just struggling to exist and being bought down my illnesses, challenges, thoughts, emotions and actions. I finally feel I am learning who I really am and what my purpose in life is and what I am meant to be doing.
@Ivy229
I'm so happy for you that you came to this wonderful awareness. Knowing your purpose in life gives hope.
@amiablePeace77 Thank you yes it is a good place to be when you are aware and know your purpose. It is so easy in life to feel like you have no purpose or that you are not doing everything you are capable of doing.
@Ivy229
Sadly too many people feel not having purpose, glad you're not one of them anymore.
