What do you miss? Is it a consistent thought or does it fade away then drift into your consciousness when you have space to think?
I don't think about this often, just from time to time. The thing I miss is being a teenager. Things were so much simpler then. Sure at the time it didn't feel that way. Growing up was hard work and there definitely were tough things we had to deal with. However, I would love to be in high school again. Not because it was particularly fun, but because I had so few things to worry about. Paying bills, health scares, aging parents, providing for a family, etc. These are all things that growing up causes us to deal with.
Now don't get me wrong, I love being an adult. The freedom of knowing who you are, being able to provide for yourself, not having a curfew, etc. These things I would not want to give back. It would be nice every now and then though to be free from huge responsibilities and have my biggest worry be if I will do well on my math test.
