It depends- how would it change me? If it would just be a year of bliss, then I probably wouldn't mind, because I wouldn't have to deal with the memories when things weren't as good... but if there were lasting effects from that year? Maybe not...

No! What is happiness if you can't remember it?

Experience without memories? Recipe for disaster!

Sure why not. To say otherwise would mean our life is only about our memories. It is also about the moments, even if we don't remember them all.
Felicia,

Lowell, MA USA
Why not? I'd have had pleasure at the time, even if I didn't remember it later.
Jane,

West Linn, OR USA
Sure, cause I'd always hope that I would remember some of it, or be able to keep the good feelings from it.

Why would you waste a perfectly good year of your life on something you will have no recollection of? Not me...I want to remember everything!
Tracy,

I think of the last year and how happy it's been. ..and I'd hate to miss it. If I couldn't remember the last year, I wouldn't remember my wedding. I wouldn't remember 12 of the 14 or so months since we finally got together. No, I'd rather have the bad things that keep it from being perfect happiness (like endometriosis, having to find a place to live, and stuff like that) and remember the whole year.

That depends on if I can go back to a normal, nothing to be Unhappy about experience.

What would be the point, if you couldn't remember it? I don't think I would, because I'd miss out on a whole year of real life.
Judy,

No. It would be a wasted year.
Alias Irrelevante
Sure. I can't remember most of the happy things that happen to me anyway (bad things only, it's a curse) so I think it'd be just gravy.

As long as I can get the time off from work, sure.
Ryan,

As long as I didn't lose all memories prior to that year of perfect happiness... sure!!

No.

Yes I would - gladly. But only if I could remember nothing afterwards. If I could remember all the joy I had experienced, it would be very hard to come back to my drab, humdrum life.
Reba,

Silver Spring, MD USA
Sure, as long as it didnt mean I'd be miserable the rest of my life. Even if I didn't remember it, I could be happy for the time and enjoy that moment.
Cara,

Ive heard this question before, i think its from a question book :P No. Memories are the most important part.
Talia,

YES! Sign me up! I look forward to hammocks and lounging!
Triana,

Austin, TX USA
Nope. It would ruin it. I'd be great for awhile, but then I'd start dreading the end of the year because I'd know that It would be over and I wouldn't remember it. Besides, I think I'm about as happy now as I've ever been in my life and that's close enough for me.
Doug2,

Oh, definitely! I never pass up a chance at happiness!
Tam
Sure. I mean, that one year would be perfect, right?
Nicci,

Yes.
