What do I miss, I miss the risk that only young people can really take and do. Age has a way of catching up with you, and for me it has caught up rather fast. Also with age came responsibility. At some point there came a time where I could simply not take the risk of being young any more. Skiing snow and water, cross country, downhill and slalom. I miss rock climbing, and rappelling. Walk in camping,(backpacking), for days on end. Pretty much I guess I miss being able to be irresponsible, because I only had to worry about my actions effecting me.
Would I change any of that, heck no, we all want to age and progress through life, those 15 years, (15-30), are the most risky part of life, that is where we learn to grow up where we get our experiences for later life. It is when we are at our peak health and risk taking ability. At 30 things begin to change, so I miss those experience growing years the most, the years of being immortal, the years where the most important thing in life is what new experience is around the next corner.
The experience I miss the most is the walk into the woods for three days with a backpack to go camping. Finding that perfect spot to stay for three days and just enjoy the solitude. There is not many years that a person can be that irresponsible with their life before they have to succumb to civilization and society norms.
