If you could return to your ideal age, what would be your age range? If you want to comment further, would you retain your current knowledge and state of mind or go back to having your past knowledge and state of mind?
And what makes this specific age or age range/period of life ideal? Was it your personality at the time? Your state of mind? Was it your appearance?
I feel nostalgic for when I was 13 to 17. But there are some things I like about adulthood, namely the freedom, and having money to do stuff.
I wish I could take a hybrid approach to this. To be back in my 17 year old body. To have the life experience of my adulthood… where I became more empathetic, and understanding of social norms. I was a product of my conservative upbringing, and had to unlearn a lot of toxicity and bigotry. I wish I could be a teen with that same empathetic mindset. I would like to have the optimism of my teenage years, when I was excited to see the world and felt I had a bright future. I’ve lost that optimism as the realities of this world weigh on my shoulders.

I’ve been daydreaming about this topic for a few hours, and it’s kind of become a hedonistic fantasy. I wish I had my healthy teenage body, with my current mindset, living the retired stoner night owl lifestyle. And I wish I had a preteen girl to share it with. Everyday would be a sleepover - hanging out, watching movies, playing video games, and smoking out. We’d cruise the strip late at night with the windows and moonroof open on an epic journey to the gas station or fast food while we’re stoned. And we could just cuddle and spoon all night.
A lot of my fantasies involve a young girl being my equal. We’d do adult things, like staying up late, and smoking weed. Maybe she says a few cuss words in our normal conversation.
I’m really stoned right now.
