What age do you wish you were? Started by: Rowley on Jul 30, '20 12:03

For years I have looked back at when I was 18/19 with great fondness,

In-fact I can almost pinpoint the date, or at least visualise the moment, being sat at home still under my parents roof with no bills to pay. 

The tv on in the corner with Kylie "come in to my world" followed by Robbie "Feel" and then JT "Cry me a River" blaring out - It was all the Box used to play... or so my memory seems to recollect.

 
I have no idea why this vision keeps coming. into my mind - It's possibly due to lockdown or maybe it's the upcoming dramatic changes in my life.... But I think I keep seeing this moment because it was the last time I actually was 100% care-free. 

It's odd, as I don't want to be in that moment, christ I was a total idiot, I wanted to try and "grow-up" when I should have been trying to "live" more and wow I should have been a nicer person, but thats what makes us who we are now... right?

 

Are you caught in a moment, Is there an age you want to relive? or is it just me and should I see a psychiatrist? (don't answer the latter...)

No Rowley, I completely agree with you. I always think about the years I’ve wasted in my late teens early twenties. I often think about if I could be that age again and with the knowledge and maturity I have today. I honestly would tell myself at 19 don’t waste your time with college just get your real estate license right away. (Yes I’m a realtor). I guess we always say our mistakes build who we are and I agree but time flies by so fast that even a simple 5 years can make such a huge impact on your life.

I think I'd want to go back 10 years ago and make some decisions differently. :/

Not so much wishing I was a different age but would love to be able to sit down with the 18 year old me and point out how to do one or two things differently.

Wish I was 14 again knowing what I know now, would’ve made life much simpler having this level of knowledge as a high school freshman

I'm not too much into my life, in my early 20's still. But I do wish I could go back to being about 17 or so and make some different decisions.

I think sweet 16 could be a fresh start, I certainly would change a lot of things knowing what I know now

I really want to go back to 15 years old, its my best years there.

I really wish I was back in my teen days, Like 14.

16 was a good year. It was also a year of many dumb decisions which I'd love to go back and keep myself from doing.

I know Trump would wish he could go back about 8 months and do this virus shit all over.

TonyAlacchi Thanks for letting me keep my sanity! 

I went to Uni and it was by far one of the best experiences I had, It did truly get every cent of hedonism out... And well to be fair for the decade after I was pretty similar, and then like magic it all went away. 

I no-longer smoke, I don't take drugs anymore, I mean I love a drink but not like lets go hit the clubs. But I am glad I got to do all that.

If I was teaching 18yr old me a lesson or two, it would probably have been to actually go to lectures and take the time to do your work, don't bullshit as much and ffs Mafia based MMORPG games do not take precedence over your dissertation... 

But y'know, It can't be all bad - still surviving 
 

(Just realised this thread is starting to turn into a confession-all/memoirs of my twenties. - Apologies!)

Ahh - if I was to be a certain age again perhaps also take university a little more serious.

But mostly no ragrets or strong desire to go back to an age.. guess when we start hitting 40/50s/old I shall have a slightly stronger desire to be younger..

I go back to being a child again and with all the knowledge I have now 

Report Post Tip

About 25 years younger than I am right now would do lol

Report Post Tip

I wish I was ten years younger then I wouldn't have made the mistakes I had in the past

Report Post Tip

As long as I was keeping the knowledge I have now I'd go back to to about the age of 15.

Report Post Tip

Rather than wish where is was, I'd like to just wish I wasn't at work

Report Post Tip

I'd go back to late teens.
