In the 20's

At most, 11. I still had good memories, by that point, and my bad ones were trivial enough to not count.

How old are you now?

Honestly this is very valid

Interesting, how come?

Interesting. I didn’t expect anyone to pick a young age, but I guess at 11, you have no adult responsibilities, and your biggest worries are at high school! Miss them days lol

- I was at my peak physical condition and wiser than most of my peers.

Yeah, that, too. I also have almost 8 years of trauma that started at 12 and it would be nice to just completely press pause at the last age where my life was really good, y’know?

Nice, how old are you now?
Individual_Wear5499 OP t1_iuk248f wrote
Yeah, I understand. I’m sorry about the trauma you had to go through, I hope things are easier for you know and that it’s better to cope (the memories etc). That must have been hard for you, sorry.

It’s alright. I’m over it, at this point. It’s to the point where something happens and I just laugh. 😂
Individual_Wear5499 OP t1_iuk2irq wrote
I can relate to that, I think it’s a good way to look at life, life’s too short, at least laughing your way through makes it somewhat easier!

Because it is the perfect mix of experience and not giving a shit.
Individual_Wear5499 OP t1_iuk354a wrote
Interesting age category, any specific reason why?
Individual_Wear5499 OP t1_iuk48ue wrote
The “Not giving a shit” is a vibe

Next go 'round, I won't waste quite so much of mine.

4 or 5.
You're just perpetually happy at that age, excitedly learning new things every day and playing lego with your friends.
Once you're grown up you're always chasing something to make you happy. And once you have it that feeling of happiness quickly fades. So you would forever chase a fleeting bit of happiness, you'd be stuck in a loop.
I strongly believe that most people would kill themselves after a few hundred years in that scenario.
