@agatha I'm cis and I miss certain aspects of my teen years-tons of free time! Seeing my friends a lot! All my income was expendable! No real responsibilities! And I realize all of that is my privilege that many did not have in their teen years.

I do not miss my untreated chronic depression and constant drug and alcohol use to try to cope with said depression, or being in a long term relationship with a shithead who treated me poorly.

On the balance, I was in a much better place in my late 20s/30s and now into my 40s. I like certain aspects of nostalgia, but I hate the thought that my best days are behind me.

Whew, didn't mean to write a novel but here we are!
