seventwentyseven Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I was driving around earlier and I realised, I really miss my early 20s. I am 41 now and even though I don't want to hang around 20 year olds and go out drinking every weekend, I still find myself missing being that age. Is it because I don't have anything going on in my life that I really lood forward to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Don't create a false dichotomy, it's plausible that even if you had things going on in your life that you look forward to, you may still miss elements of being that age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. D. Stembal Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Chronological age is largely irrelevant. It's biological age that matters. I feel better now than I did in my 20s. What do you miss about it exactly? Is it youth or health? Is it easy access to eggs? We've determined that it's not the drinking and carousing for you.

NotDarkYet Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 The brain will often take bad times and color them as happy/fun/good in hindsight. Do you think there is some of that here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
