[quote=Anonymous]I'm 41 and I miss being in my 20s too.  Mainly because back then, every single door is still open.  You can choose a career, change paths easily, go to graduate school, go to a second graduate school, decide what city to live in, etc.  As you get older, more and more doors close.  You settle down in one area and then can't leave because your spouse has a great job and won't get as great a job anywhere else, etc.

I also miss the excitement of my 20s and early 30s because everything was new and exciting.  I still remember moving to the big city at 23 and how incredibly exciting that was.  And how exciting it was to buy our first house.  And how exciting it was to be pregnant, etc.

I also miss being able to look good with practically no work.  Now I have to color my hair to hide the gray, have to put on makeup or I look old and tired, etc.

I do like the feeling of being settled, having wisdom, making much better decision overall, having a good career, and the contentment of family.  I also have a much better social life (female friends) now in my 40s than I ever did in my 20s and 30s.[/quote]
