    This is terrible. I wouldn’t want to go back 20 years at all. Every year I’m grateful that it has been better than the last. Life is on the up and up. I’m not wishing to go back, I’m looking forward to next year.

    Wish I wasn’t mentally ill! Makes me feel worse to think about how I feel like shit.

    I have never felt this way. Part of it’s luck, but even hard stuff I feel like has made me a better person, and happier for it.

      Hey shrub, FWIW I think the world is better with people like you in it. Take care of yourself, please, and I hope life treats you as well as it can. If you ever need someone to talk to or anything, this internet stranger’s door is always open.

        Thank you.
        (I also apologise, it was late night & I didn’t realise I was in Lemmy be wholesome)

        You are indeed one nice individual, words like that help & make life easier (calmer even?) for others. I wish upon you a good world too, a world that makes it a nice place to be part of, and that you have your part & place in it that makes you happy & content.

    What a perspective to hear for the day…

      • A couple of people who were close to me just died so no,I will not be wanting to come back to this moment. I’m actually looking forward to aging. Means I can get some time between myself and the event. We age every day. Aging is easy compared to this particular experience.
      • And as far as looking back to previous experiences,no, life is very very hard for some people and struggle will be there. If we’re looking at it as “oh I survived a beat down easier back then cuz I was so much younger oh but I also didn’t have any autonomy in some of the wretched situations I was in” I don’t think that is the measure for a great time.
      • that platitude is ageist. Aging shouldn’t be looked at as something to be disappointed with. If anything it will be better in that you can have more experiences to look back on that were positive. And happy that it happened. Not needing to go back to it. Something seems clingy with time on that one and that seems mentally and emotionally unhealthy. Additionally aging is a privilege if you last long enough to age well. Look back to better experiences. Not just ‘better physical health’.
      • it’s a miss take on what defines as better health. Youth anlone isn’t necessarily a decent measure for better health. And mental health can change as you age. Sometimes for the better as we get more experiences to challenge hard inner dialogues. A lot of people can become much healthier (both mentally and physically) as they grow older and gain better perspectives to apply to their current moments not just past ones.

    I don’t want to come back here, and I rather die than go back 20 years and relive that dumpster fire.
