Do you miss your 20s?


For me, not really. It was kinda stressful.

But sometimes I feel old and I'm only almost 39...I know age is just a number, but still....

Mid-Late 20s a little but not early.

I miss feeling all of that power and energy.

Having no aches. Not having to push myself to work out.

Plus of course all of the fun associated with being in your 20s. Going out Friday night, partying until, sometimes Saturday afternoon. YOU can do it at that age, then pop out of bed Monday morning like nothing happened.

Being fair though, I don't miss working night and day. One thing about current life (50s) - you appreciate the experience and wisdom you gain. You really don't know what you're doing in your 20s. As you get older, you find out what you like, what makes you happy. One believes, by the time you reach your 50s, you should have it all mapped out - living a very happy, comfortable life. It's not comfortable in your 20s because you don't even know yourself yet. Plus (unless someone gave it to you) - it's a nonstop hustle to make a buck.

However, it certainly would be nice to feel that good again. One would say, to someone in their 20s, hey live it up, have a good time. Once its gone, its gone for good.
