Sometimes I wish that I could've stayed at somewhere around 32-35 years old, and then lived for about hundred years till the end of my life without getting any older. :)
I could've gone places and lived elsewhere, could've met people and fallen in love, and generally enjoyed the life. I would've had time.
It's so sad that people get old. All our society is built around youth, it's turned it into a cult. And it often seems that there is less and less place for you while you're getting older.
@SeventhMagpie I liked my mid-thirties. It was a good time. It doesn't seem that long ago, but I'm only a couple of years off 50 😞
@sullybiker Yes, just the perfect time. :) Not young and stupid anymore, not too old and grumpy yet. Life's generally set and you can just enjoy it. :)
@SeventhMagpie It was still another time and place for me. Another country, another life. But still feels very recent. I think that's a trick of aging, 10-20 years feels very recent.
@SeventhMagpie It does. I'm told this feeling doesn't really stop. Only recently have I felt myself slowing down but a lot of that is covid confinement and not really doing much.
