I agree 100% with the wishing you were younger part - for some reason the grass is always greener on the other side, is it not?
I dunno, tho, I've had lots of good times over the years...mixed in, of course, with the usual sadness and curveballs that life seems to throw our way. Its not all downhill as you get older, its just that things are...well...different.
I guess I'd say what I miss most about my youth was the sense that something great loomed over the horizon, that anything was possible. I felt like, no matter what I did, it would all work out for the best and somehow lead me down the path to happy, blissful adulthood. Instead I learned that fairy tales are, in the end, only fiction, happily ever after doesn't come like magic, and that its possibly to be happy and sad all at the same time.
Enjoy these days, because you'll likely never have as much freedom and opportunity for adventure and memories as you do right now. Don't waste it wishing you could change the things that are beyond your control.
