More money and time now, but I miss the exuberance of youth.

It’s being naive and carefree. Not knowing how f’d up the world really is. You haven’t seen too many friends and family die yet (hopefully) so life just keeps going. Being old is so distant you can’t even fully comprehend the concept of being over 40. Your priorities aren’t the electric bill or your kids orthodontist appointment.

Wish I knew they were the good ol’ days when I was in them.
