Youth's wasted on the Young

TheCatWoman

I wish I'd have had the confidence and knowlege I have now when I was young enough to make use ot it, or that my body was still capable of that amount of energy.

I think I'd do property development, I just got my DIY skills up to a reasonable level when my body started packing up, frozen shoulders mean I can't decorate and use tools properly as my arms go stupid when I try and hold them at or above shoulder height. My back will no longer allow me to lift things nor will my knees, nor will my knees allow me to kneel or bend down anymore.

I could do without many things that come with youth, like a functioning libido, menstruation etc, but a fully working skeleton would be great.

What would you do if you had the energy of youth with the wisdom of being older?

  • I'm nearly 30 now so not mega old but old enough that my health and sight is already starting to suffer. I can now appreciate making the most of time with my family, and, making the most of life in general so long as depression isn't too severe.

    If I could be younger again, let's say between 15-20 I would definitely use the wisdom of appreciating my time with my family more than I did. It hurts now thinking how many times I could have stopped to talk to my mum or my sister, thinking I had forever and now those moments are forever gone.

    So much time wasted in my youth, I should have done so much differently and it's weird thinking that so many opportunities are gone as I lack the energy and health to do it now.
