That's the thing right? I really, shall we say, "let loose." I travelled a lot, partied, slept with different women etc. so now that my life is a bit more hum drum, I can look back and say, ok, I had a good opportunity to do that stuff.
On the other hand, none of it was very constructive and a lot of it was very based in privilege. I was able to have fun and wander around in Latin America and India and what not playing hippie because I was a well off white person, while most of the people I interacted with in those places, well the locals, didn't have that opportunity. I really regret and reject that sort of bohemian hippie side I had in my 20s. I was irresponsible and wasted my privilege on pleasure seeking.
I am not really a person who dwells on things. What's done is done, but if I had to do it all over again I would A) have worked harder in math class and B) try to have fun in my 20s, but be a bit more constructive.

lol so you think about a lot how you wish you had kids younger but you're also not really a person who dwells on things?
well, it doesn't make me depressed or anything, but I do think about it.
How do you read that and reply with this childish take?
