What do you miss from your youth?

[Lynx122]

I miss being able to sleep easily whenever I wanted. Lately I've been really struggling with it. I can sleep but not when I want to. And it's probably gonna get even worse with age I'm not lookng forward to that at all and I don't wanna take meds for it either but maybe it'll be inevitable in the future.

Ultra-fast injury recovery. I'm into vert skating and take falls all the time. I used to be able to recover from even the hardest slams to the rock bottom and keep skating the next day, even though I always had bruises everywhere.

Now I just don't heal so fast (I think it might be as much as 10 times longer to heal now compared to my teens) and recently sprained my ankle from a fall that, when I was younger, probably wouldn't have done any damage (just around a 20-foot landing on my feet).

I had opposite experience though with sleeping. I used to be really restless in bed when I was younger. As I get older, I have an easier time falling asleep.

I miss not having to stress about money and if I'll ever be able to achieve my dreams in the time that I have. I also miss seeing my family as much as I did and people actually caring about me.

School! Sounds crazy, I know, but it really was the best time of my life. I also miss not having pressure of day to day life.

Thanks for the MHO 🙂

Not having to pay bills or whether or not rent will be reasonable. Bottom line, not having to be an adult and worry about that shit.

[NathanDavis]

most things, if not everything... were made with actual ingredients and not lots of substitutes as it is today... lol

[Lynx122]

You should travel ;) Outside the U. S. food is still real :)

[NathanDavis]

I'm not in the USA at the moment

[Lynx122]

Really? What is fake then in your food? I haven't noticed anything like that. If you cook yourself you can make real food anytime you want :)

[NathanDavis]

okay... I just noticed that you're not American so this might be strange to you, so...

in America, we have these things we call supermarkets... and they're giant, huge... and they're all packed and stocked and overflowing with all kids of junk food, and ultra processed boxed, canned, bottled, bagged food...

and they also tend to belong these big ass companies that have monopoly tendencies, which... makes them practice these kind of practices... to reduce costs and improve mass production, they do replace better and more "natural ingredients" with, artificial, cheap ones...

so yeah, a lot of the brands for snacks and other junk food one grew up with... have changed their list of key ingredients and their taste is just not the same and many times you can tell right away how "artificial" it is

and this is all I meant... my comment had nothing to do with homemade, full meals...

Being totally carefree and feeling invincible.

I miss regular sane Democrats like Bill Clinton. (Even though he was a perv. But setting that aside for now.)

[exitseven]

Everything in my body worked. Now I have a fake hip, a cranky shoulder I cannot see without bifocals and my hearing is not great. I get tired easy and do not recover from injury as fast.

Security and innocence.

[Lynx122]

You don't feel safe now?

[abc3643]

God, NO!

You know the phrase "Ignorance is bliss"?
Well, it's true.
