Everything was simpler then. Everything was new and exciting. It was after I had opened my mind and ventured into the larger world, but before the time when my world came crashing down. I felt young and whole and full of potential. It was as if for a few months I wandered into a dream world, one where I could have anything I wanted. There was meaning in my life, and staggering beauty. Even the pain was beautiful.

Now the glory days are over. The visions and the voices have gone away. All my friends are gone, as is the girl I loved; how I long to see their faces once more. I have entered a new world, a place called reality. I had a chance to escape from the darkness and claim what could have been mine, but I failed. There will be no more adventures; only the long, dismal road of depreciation lies ahead. It is dark, and I feel cold. All alone as I lie here in the dust.

17 was one of the worst ages of my life. I wish I was 10 or 11 again. Those were my best years.

OP, you're 21, not 84. If you think life is bad now, wait until you start losing your hair and have a pot belly to boot.

'Reality' is plastic. 'Reality' is not necessarily negative.

My experience of life is that I go from challenge to beautiful wonder, then challenge again. Sometimes I get hung up in the challenge states for loooong times. Dark nights of the soul. I think aspie rigidity can keep us hung up for longer. Change is necessary.

The adventure is in escaping from the dark. Or perhaps exploring it. Maybe the dark isn't as bad as we think. :?:

Likewise. In fact, I think maybe 17 was the worst age of my life. Basically the ages of 12-19 were a dark, dark period that it's amazing I survived. Although, 10 and 11 really weren't much better. I think 9 was my heyday. It was all downhill from there. Been getting better, though.

I want to be 10. 2003 was the best year I've ever had. This year has been the worst

If I had no choice but to go back - PLEASE do not make me do it over.- 17 would be a whole lot better than 16 or 23 - but NOT my first choice.

I did at one point wanted to go back to being 17 or even younger, but really I don't want to. Why go back and get bullied in a big school all over again? Why bother taking the school bus and having to deal with loud kids talking, laughing, throwing things around, or calling the bus drivers bad names? Why bother having to deal with girls in the bathroom crying over a break up? :roll:
Teens are so immature anyways. I don't want to go back to being a teenager. I think about how bullies can now attack their victims on facebook, twitter, text messages on cell phone. Back when I was in high school the internet just started. We couldn't even carry cell phones to school. So the only ways that bullies can terrorize their victims is in person, handwritten letters or emails.

I wouldn't go back or change anything.
Bad stuff happened to be, and by me - but I wouldn't change any of it, because it would change who I am, and i'm finally starting to accept that person.

First nervous breakdown at age 13 for me. I don't think i would go back to my happy years of 0-12 though. I think the key for me especially is how do i move forward and find happiness. Some close friends and lovers would be great. That's all i ask basically! Not greedy at all.

If I could be 19 again, I'd cut my hair off to the length that it is, now.
