Kinda yeah. There are parts of the past that were excellent and that i miss. Some I’m no longer at the appropriate developmental stage for. So yeah it was excellent staying up all night as a 14 year old chatting with the next door neighbor, but it’s also going to be lovely being a part of his wedding. I miss staying out rambunctiously in college with my friends on a weeknight. But the skills I learned the next day are even more valuable than those memories. And someday I’m going to miss being 30 and spending most of my free time with my wife. We cannot stop time, we cannot avoid aging. Where I am now is a time I looked forward to in wonder and excitement when I was younger. So I will cherish this time and live it fully, so that when it is a memory it can be a good one. And i will continue making my futures as wonderful as i can, because I can’t avoid the reality that this stage of my life too is finite.
