The idea of feeling your mind regressing along with your age is honestly such a terrifying thing to me.
Not to me. I wish I could go back to being younger in both mind and body, and I'm only 27. I don't look at things the way I did when I was a kid, and when I think about think about feelings and experiences I had in the past, it becomes apparent that I'll never experience them the same way again.
There's a certain appeal to going back to those days of childlike wonder, for sure, but I've had a lot of experiences in my adult life, both good and bad, that have shaped me into the person I am today and the idea of losing all of that, to me at least, just isn't worth the tradeoff.
