| My knees didn't hurt when I did anything, I could walk all day and not worry about it. |

| When I was home alone I'd belt out songs at the top of my lungs as a kid. Now I live alone but am in an apartment and am always afraid to get too loud lest I annoy the neighbors. |

Feeling very confident in my talent and abilities. Knowing I was really good at something and I was. Able to compete, no fear.
Ability to be moved by art, music, etc. So much was new. Fun conversations with friends, days of talking and laughing. Drinking, dancing, wearing cute clothes, anticipation, fun. |

| There was a feeling that what you did mattered. Everything was new and important. Now at 56 I feel like a spectator not a participant. |

1. I can't drink alcohol.
2. I'm introverted and like to read with a cup of tea. 3. I looked like a baby until 30, and now look so much sexier. 4. Finally, I know how to dress. I look great in a bikini. 5. I'm much better at socializing than before. So, finally, in my 40s, I feel so much better in my own skin and despite some health issues, I'd rather be me now, than my shy baby self of my 20s or even my tired baby-raising self of my 30s. |

Same. Late teens, early 20s were the most free. I had one summer at 22 that was one of my favorites ever. Had an apartment to myself because the others went home for the summer. I got a part time job at a pub that was fun. I met so many people from all different places. I had one platonic summer friend who also worked there and we laughed and had so much fun and he was the only one that would ride bikes at midnight to the beach with me. Hook ups with coworkers or college guys I knew. So much freedom, such a great feeling. |

I WANTED to be another year older!
I would cheerfully strike out on a roadtrip in an old beater of a car, worn tires, just enough cash to get there. |

I know an 80 year old who has great knees. She can squat down when gardening and spring back up. As for me, my right knee hurts when going down stairs at times. |

| I'm so happy to be older. The only thing I miss about being younger was having plenty of time. |

When I think about the things I missed (more free time, better body/shape, drinking more) it really well leads to what I truly missed...a lot more casual sex. I'm happily married with kids and wouldn't trade it for the world, but I miss the high that came with new, spontaneous sex partners.

| Everyday was different. Now it is so predictable except for tragic yet inevitable things. |

And I wasted my youth “saving myself for marriage.” Sigh. |
