If you can be ANY age.. how old do you want to be right now?

Oh that I can imagine.. without headache would be nice!

@OneOfMany do painkillers work at all? or is this a dumb question.

@Drosophila Yes, 17 years of a continuous (but varying) headache is annoying.

yep I don't particularly want to relive me life either

Who is jealous? You or he? or both?

@SIMPLYD You were jealous of beauty and personality of each other?

@dpk262006 Both . So , it's a tumultuous first years of our lives . Though , after that we will be sweet again .

@Drosophila I'm sorry that you had a miserable early life. I'm fortunate to have enjoyed every age I've been, including now (70s).

@jaboUK thats great to hear! Well, I mean I had a pretty good childhood, I was just a miserable and emo kid.. that kinda carried on well into my teens. Before I finally stepped in and took control of my emoness.. then life was great from then onwards. but it did take years for me to learn to deal with negative emotions.. I simply don't want to repeat that process again.

I am pretty happy with now.. I was always miserable in my childhood, had a bad time in my teens. Basically whenever I think of the past, I don't ever go.. pharrr! I want to be that age, I just remember all the problems, which makes today's life much better

That's great! We should live fabulously regardless of age

@DianneN that is the best way to do it!

@Drosophila You said it! I try to live as well as I can, and I'm thankful for every new day.

That's great to hear, you like the topic! I guess if you missed partying and doing crazy stuff in 18, then ya, you prolly wanna revisit that era again. me on the other hand, did a bit too much of that.. so I guess it's all good for now

@Drosophila it means you enjoy full life in same age while you pass so we just have to do what we not do at that time as we not have sense in that age so i am glad that you are happy with your age going at your way...

@birjudanak Thank you! I wouldn't go quite as far as saying am happy with everything that's happened. but, I find the older I get, the more comfortable I am with myself. so that definitely helps. I also find the things I regret, are the things I haven't done. not the things I have done. So ya I try to do what I want as much as possible, law and society permitting of course xD

@Drosophila - Yes, we should live the moments because those moments are not going to come again in our life.

I totally agree. We should aim to live fabulously every phase.

@dpk262006 yep and try to do good for the day.

wow.. you'd have one helluva memory xD

@Drosophila Lol. Maybe.

@yalul070 22 is very young for a big commitment. But mind you when I was younger I was more ready for commitment than today.. The older I get, the more I shriek from the thoughts of responsibilities, which ultimately comes with commitment.

I guess you want to change that? huhu? xD

yep, my friend's favourite time was 18-21.

That sounds good. I guess its a good age range, little financial issues, lots to do, and no health issues or anything

Aww that's very very sweet. he sounded like a wonderful man.

@CRK109 indeed! It is good that you were able to reconcile your differences. :) I sometime wish I could go back to previous relationships, but then I guess they are previous for that reason indeed

@Drosophila When he was still with me, I remember getting really angry with him over something silly. We had an argument and we walked away in frustration. And while we weren't talking, I suddenly thought of what life would be like without him. No socks on the floor. And it upset me so much that I immediately apologized to him and ended the argument. Prophetic. I thank God every day for that realization because if I hadn't thought of that, things between us might had ended on a sour note. Life fascinates me sometimes. xoxo

@Daljinder oh ya.. but you know what, the idea of most things such as responsibilities and so on are worse than what that thing is really. I think when you're in middle of it, its actually not as bad as you thought

That's great.. and something I can relate to. with increase of age comes increase of responsibilities, and with reduction of age, comes with increase of emotional problems. xD

@Drosophila True that! Right now I want neither of those things...

@rina110383 thats definitely a few more years left

thats a few more years to go I assume xD

@Drosophila I'm 32 now, 18 more years to go.

@Drosophila Don't get me wrong, there were some really bad times and awful things that have happened to me. However, overall I think that I am really blessed, and I have very much enjoyed the ride thus far, so I wouldn't mind doing it all over again.

oh wow, you'd want to relive your life again. that sounds great. :D I guess at the end of my life, I'd want to say "next" or "wendy has left the building" or something similar xD

@purplealabaster that is good to hear and I hope it continues for you :D

That makes sense ya quite a few people responded here wanted to stay in 30s and 40s..

And so short of monies to enjoy life with full zest and zing..lol

@Drosophila that's the age when one is full of energy and zest. In the prime of one's life.

This seem to be a popular one too. :)

@Drosophila I might change my mind when I'm 69.....LOL

@AbbyGreenhill of course! a lady reserves the right to change their mind whenever :D

That is very great to hear! I hope I be like this when am 68 years old :D

Yeah...some things that we get on the way are so invaluable. We would lose all that too..

That is good to hear. I hope many more good years to come

Indeed. I feel the same. When I was 18, I was foolish, and thought I was smart. The worst possible combination ever. Do I wanna experience that again? No thanks xD

@puddleglum oh am sure when am 50, I'm going to look at myself now, and go "eh?" "what tree were you barking up?"

@Drosophila it's a bad combination, but I know from experience it's a common one at age eighteen. Haha
