I find it more like 25-30 years of injuries, small and large. Some were necessary and/or self-inflicted, but I’m very different than I was (for better or worse). I still wonder what it would be like to wake-up and feel like an adult, or if there are people happy with the idea and feel like it happened at an appropriate age. I think I would not like those people.
