I’ve never understood people that yearn to be a kid again. When I was a kid, especially when I was in high school, I desperately wanted to get all that over with and become an adult. And when I became an adult, things were rough, but I felt so much better for so many reasons.
As I’ve aged, this sentiment has only been further reinforced by my experiences with aging. Not to toot my own horn, but I’ve been aging well and have gotten more attractive the older I get (so far). My social skills have improved so much, I was painfully awkward and unable to successfully socialize as a young person. Holy fuck, I actually have real friends and relationships now, it’s amazing. Yeah I got responsibilities, but I can actually do things I want to so long as I stay within the confines of those responsibilities, definitely not something I had as a kid either. And honestly, I’m a much better person, which I won’t get into too much, but I was closer to being right wing in my younger days.
Sure, it’ll stop feeling so great at some point, but I’m kinda past the point where most people start to say getting old sucks and you know what, I say no, it’s pretty cool actually.


I disagree! When I was in my mid-20s I think I would have said that. But now that I’m well over 30, nah, the amount of learning and maturing I’ve done in the past decade is huge and I wouldn’t give it up for anything. I’m excited to see how much more I’ll know and understand another decade from now! I’m looking forward to being in my 40s and 50s, with the knowledge and experience that comes along with that extra age!
