Yes, I miss that feeling of not having to be anywhere until Monday morning. Every day and night was full of new possibilities. |
38 isn't young. It's middle age. Young is below age 21 when your only concerns are a date on Saturday night. Keeping your grades up. Once you graduate from college and have a job is the beginning of adulthood. Getting married is the beginning of middle age no matter what your age and having children is middle age. |
Then i hit 40 and all the above didn’t materialize. Sad |
The heart pounding excitement of sex especially doing things that I had only dreamed of. |
[b] Like what? That sounds amazing. |
Can commit minor crimes and not be arrested! |
The truth is bulletproof, there's no fooling you
I don't dress the same Me and who you say I was yesterday Have gone our separate ways Left my living fast somewhere in the past 'Cause that's for chasing cars Turns out open bars lead to broken hearts And going way too far I know I used to be crazy I know I used to be fun You say I used to be wild I say I used to be young You tell me time has done changed me That's fine, I've had a good run I know I used to be crazy That's 'cause I used to be young Take one, pour it out It's not worth crying 'bout the things you can't erase Like tattoos and regrets Words I never meant and ones that got away Left my living fast somewhere in the past And took another road Turns out crowded rooms empty out as soon There's somewhere else to go, oh I know I used to be crazy I know I used to be fun You say I used to be wild I say I used to be young You tell me time has done changed me That's fine, I've had a good run I know I used to be crazy That's 'cause I used to be young Oh, oh Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh Yeah Whoa, whoa Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh I know I used to be crazy Messed up, but, God, was it fun I know I used to be wild That's 'cause I used to be young Those wasted nights are not wasted I remember every one I know I used to be crazy That's 'cause I used to be young You tell me time has done changed me That's fine, I've had a good run I know I used to be crazy That's 'cause I used to be young |
I just miss unstructured time. Never appreciated the luxury of laying in bed all day without being bothered, walking aimlessly around a city, etc. Now, with a family to take care of, someone needs to know where I am, what I’m doing and how long I’ll be at all times. |
-not having to make dinner
-freedom to do whatever dh and I wanted (we met at 20 and had kids at 30, so there were lots of years before kids) -sleeping past 8:30am. Kids are pretty well trained, but they still absolutely wake us up. Especially the one still in the crib. -Taking a real, kid free vacation. Grandparents do offer, but can't yet handle the youngest for a week. I dream of doing fun stuff again, like going to the Galapagos, hiking Machu Picchu, backpacking around Europe. Maybe by the time they're in middle/high school they'll be fun on vacations. And it won't be such of a trip. Oh and I love art museums, which is decidedly not kid friendly. |
