Do you ever miss being your younger self, now that you are older? (attractive, generation)

[ItsRick24]

The only thing I miss about being younger is having more hair up top!

[Londoncowboy30]

Oh gosh yes!!!!!

I'm doing much the same things as when I was 18, now I'm 30 BUT I don't have the same fit/hot body as I had back then!!!

im 300 in dog years...

and can still run with the pack


the good lord gave us a gift,,most don't even recognize or appreciate,,,and that is age goggles..

when I was 18 a 35 yr old women looked old.... when I was 25 a 40 yr old woman looked old....when I was 30 a 45-50 yr old woman looked old,,

but,,

when I was 35 the 30, 35, 40 yr old women didn't look old anymore,,

im 50 and the 50 yr old ladies don't look old anymore
of course the younger ladies still are fun to look at,,,but "old" is an interpretation....

No for a minute! I'm older and wiser and just keep learning new things all the time.

I would like to have my younger, slimmer, less-creaky body with my older, smarter, more mellow and more experienced mind!

I miss all kinds of things about being young, being stronger, better able to run, having more energy and ambition.

[shapeshift]

yes! because i was utterly free... besides being disciplined here and there and having curfews of course..

[melovescookies]

Yes, I miss my younger self. I miss not having to put in any effort into looking good and feeling good. I could basically eat whatever I wanted and still stay slim and I miss not having to worry about gray hairs and wrinkles. What I miss most though is my youthful optimism. Back when I was 18 nothing seemed impossible and I felt like I had a lifetime to achieve my dreams. Now that I'm older, reality has set in and I know that there are limits on what I can achieve and how big I can dream. I guess I just miss having hope.

I'm 55, and no I don't.

Each year I have my chance to make a mark on my life. Each year lays the groundwork for the next year.

I don't miss my younger self because that self had it's time. Now I'm approaching the end of middle age and knocking on the door of old age. So be it - I can't stop the clock. I don't have enough brain capacity to miss my younger self, because that would take my focus away on dealing with my current self, and that's hard enough.

I seldom miss it, youth that is. Maybe a few regrets, but I'd rather not go back in time. I run about 30 miles a week, in my 50's, and although I'm slow, I enjoy the solitude, and feeling of accomplishment. Yes, it takes my body awhile to recover, but in youth everything is so rushed, not enjoyed. I love who I am now.
