I feel like I would make use of it more if I could do it again. Maybe that’s weird, I don’t know.

Edit; To ask more of a question. What would you do differently?

    I’ve sometimes thought along the lines of OP, and for me it was thinking about opportunities that were available back then. One could get a better head start in life by doing better in school or applying for the right program, or even just switching to the right career path sooner.

    What’s nice though is that we might someday want to jump back to where we are right now, and we can take advantage of our current opportunities too :)

      To quote a recent bit of dark AF insight: “Kids these days say ‘when I grow up, I wanna—’ Nah. It’s 70F in Dec. You ain’t growing up, son.”

      On the other hand, nostalgia is a golden-haloed liar. The only “good times” are right fucking now. Live your life in the present, not the cherry-picked & misremembered past.
