If you could relive one year of your life, which one would it be?

I would really like to go back to the first year of my relationship with my partner. We have had our ups and downs throughout the years and we have always come out stronger together. But sometimes I miss that first year and the careless time. The getting to know you stage, hearing all the stories for the first time, doing all the activities for the first time, and being in the happy, infatuated state.

It is such a fleeting time in a relationship because eventually you reach a point where you become comfortable which is all well and good when it happens. It means security, dependability, and there is a whole new stage of having a partner.

That first year was fun and carefree and I miss it. Not knowing whether you would be together for the long haul or what was in the future. The excitement and fun before more responsibilities and expectations come into play. I think it would be fun to go and relive it.

Perhaps I would have a deeper appreciation for what we have built after seeing the early stages. It was an easier time, but is it as satisfying as I remember? Or do I forget the tenseness of the unknown. It was fun, but was it as meaningful? It would be interesting to find out knowing what I do now just how different that moment in time really was.
