I curse you to constantly relive the same year of your life on repeat, but you get to choose which one. What's your pick?

Congratulations, you're once again the victim of one of my curses! And, once again, a choice has to be made. You'll have to relive a year you've already lived, over and over with no end in sight (though you're free to quit at any time if your body were to malfunction in a way that makes it incompatible with life, if you know what I mean). But you do get to choose which year of your life you'll be trapped in. Lucky you! So, what will be your choice?

1993 (or 1994? can't pinpoint the exact year?)

Around this time there was a huge dinosaur craze in the UK because of Jurassic Park. There was other dinosaur movies on TV, Dinosaur magazines out (Orbis Dinosaurs). I was taught Dinosaurs in School (and was doing well in School in general), and we even went on a School trip to a Dinosaur park.
I loved every second of this, it was the happiest time in my life so far. I'd never want to quit it.

So this thread basically asks about the year in which we've felt the happiest and whether or not we would be happy about it. In a way, it does sound appealing being stuck in a childhood or teen or very young adult year with lots of freedom, but it still wouldn't be for me and just thinking about it feels pointless imho

@NS2D Of course you get to keep your memory, otherwise you wouldn’t slowly fall into madness as you relive the same year hundreds of times.

2015, so I can gain confidence and fix my mistakes/live with no regrets. Sometimes, I wish I was just a stronger person back then with more confidence so I was able to see things more clearly (career/education pathing).

Do I get to change things? Because I don't remember how I did what I did in 99.9% of that year. If somehow I get stuck on a time loop and unable to relive exactly the same year, I might choose 2025.

I'd go with 2022 - life still had a deeper meaning back then. Perhaps, after the 20th or so time I might even get it right. :(

Depends on whether or not I'd have to go back to high school. If I would, then I pick 2018. If I wouldn't, then I pick 2006.

@fleurbleue That was that and this is this. A roleplay thread is something different than a thread about a hypothetical scenario aimed at finding out how someone feels about specific things. Though one time is enough. I'm not as easy as some other people here, since my pride won't allow me to seriously let me be dominated by someone else

Memory?? Perfect!!

I'm going for a not so distant year with the highest market volatility, just not to waste my time on grind. 2022 is ok. 2020 is even better, but I don't like people coughing...

And then? Oh, this man has some power fantasies, yeah.

I get my local version of the witch who cursed me, right? Oh, fleur, it's not me trapped in your doomed world, haha. For me, it's a blessing... You better start praying the Lord you don't believe in for me not to guess who "cursed" me though. Wait, what "Lord"? I'll be the one.

One of the best years of my life.

For some reason everything was so bright and interesting, so many moments and memories.

Although this year... some events began in my country, but this even added some spice to the emotions.

2023 was bad, 2024 is just awful, 2025 is so bad that its not even serious

The whole curse element is just to make the whole thing funnier and more engaging.😔 If I wanted to have power over people, I would have become a board member of an HOA or something.

@fleurbleue It's all fine and dandy. This is just your creative writing style and your fantasy at work here, there's nothing to be ashamed of. Anyway, no year feels anything special to me

Would we still retain our current memories? Or would our memories be erased beyond the year of our choosing? That would make a world of difference in my choice.

You seem not getting the point. What "steam"? Your "curse" grants me infinite power of knowing the future, I'm grateful, not upset!

"Innocent witches" will be just collateral damage in my sandbox, adult edition. And all the broken toys get replaced eventually - isn't it a perfect MMO? You give me an access to the GM shop, and threaten me with an annual wipe? Joke! I can test new builds forever and never get bored. Natsuki Subaru on steroids, haha.

PS: How does it feel when your curse can make you someone's Mai Chan in another timeline btw?

Probably 2022 or so. My older cat was still here, and I'd already adopted the one that still is. I don't think I'd even go insane if I could spend that time with him still here. Life has always been tough, but I was content.

2024, probably the worst year of my life so far.
this year a bunch of idiots made decisions that led to the death of someone i love, at that time i knew people were making bad decisions and i did tell them but i didn't act on it.
if i get to relive it i would do whatever it takes just for her to live 1 more second. i don't care if the year keeps looping. if i get to save her even extend her life for a second then i wouldn't mind going through all of that.

2006. That was the last year before me and my best friend parted ways (had to move to another school). We had so much fun back then, and she was the only one who can make me laugh a lot. We are both into anime and always talk about the shows we were into. I know my life is much better now as an adult (job, adult money, etc) but imo I had "real connections" before compare to now.
