When I was a child, I wished I was in high school. When I was in high school, I wished I was in university. When I was in university, I wished I had a career started. When I had a career, I wished I could retire,

When I retired, I wished I was young again. When I died, I didn't have anything else to wish for.

thoughts ?

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
id say 30 if ur smart. u still got hair and endurance at that age but enough life experience to hopefully muddle through somehow.

when do you start needing to think about exactly how old you are when people ask you? I'm 22 (i think) and sometimes it takes me a few seconds

Puberty I think, maybe. I guess I looked forward to college, but that's different that wishing you're older.

I sure as hell don't wish I was an old man. I think you're weird OP.

If you wish to be older, your wish will come true after your first prostate exam. Mine did. :smith:

Now, listen - I know the two of you are very different from each other in a lot of ways, but you have to understand that as far as Grandpa's concerned, you're both pieces of shit! Yeah. I can prove it mathematically.
I'd be happy to stop working and retire, but gently caress getting physically older than like 25 years old.

Dogs are much better than cats sorry.

Also, your mid 20's I think. Your mid 20's are p cool, still young, but old enough to do whatever you want, body is in its physical prime, some life experience but not enough to make you jaded/pessimistic.
