One age?

[amberwolf]

If you could remain one age for your entire life,which would you choose and why??

[Heathen Dawn]

None currently. The best years of my life are still ahead of me. I’ve still to find a girlfriend and get my PhD.

[Flaire-FireStar]

It's a toss up, really. 18 (still in HS.......lower stress level :T ) or 19 (can buy lottery tickets, and go to casinos) :lol:

[FaeFollower]

I don't know...none that I've experienced yet. Maybe 25.

[Muireannach]

I haven't experienced many ages yet, so ask me in 10 years! lol

[Convallaria]

I guess, If I were there yet it would be 21. Legal age for everything in the states and canada... that'd be great.

[White Rose]

I haven't experienced many ages yet, so ask me in 10 years! lol

Haha, ditto.

[Hoot]

In so many ways, I truly love where I am right now, at 42. But I like the idea of learning a lot more, so I look forward to the years ahead. On the other hand, I see now that I may have waited too long to have children by marrying later... so shaving a few years off on the physical side could be a positive move!

So, as usual, I don't really have one answer!

[Old Witch]

Beats me! I've had a few good years......but I hope the best one is yet to come!

[Maeglin Ancalime]

I dont think I would want to stay any one age, because there has been so many diferent interesting things happen to me at the different ages of my life.

[SylverStar]

Hmm? Well I don't know if any age is better than the next. But at least 23 so I don't have to worry about what my parents make but is of no use to me but still counts against me. I wanna be finacially responsible to myself (I am) but to the government as well.

[LittleRhiannon]

21, definetly. Just old enough to do most anything, not too old, not too young.

[Juniecat]

19 (can buy lottery tickets, and go to casinos) :lol:

What casinos are you talking about? Every casino I've ever been to, you had to be 21, because they serve free alcohol while you're gambling. And at least in Vegas they are really hard-nosed about this, to the point of carding you when you're just trying to walk through (which is really annoying because most Vegas hotels are arranged so that you HAVE to walk through the casino to get from one point to another).

I don't think I would want to be any one age forever unless you can age mentally just as usual and just freeze the body without the hormonal changes. I would love it if my body was forever just as it was at 17, but I would hate to be stuck at any mental age without the possibility for growth.

[SylverStar]

We have casinos down here that don't serve alcohol. Plus in Canada you only need to be 19 to drink. ;) Yep spent time drinking in BC before I was 21. :)

(which is really annoying because most Vegas hotels are arranged so that you HAVE to walk through the casino to get from one point to another).

you do...? x_x well, i suppose u might just to get through/around the crowd... :p lol


hmm... 18 or 21, not sure.... :x the 20's scare me XD lmao being 18's nice (though it was bad right after graduation..... :blushake: ), i wonder if 19'll be better, thou ^.^

<_< but then there's car insurance...... which doesn't get better until you're 25...... >_> hmmm.... lol

[Darkstaff]

22. Yep, definitely 22.

I was at my social "peak" at that age.

Not to say that I am not enjoying life right now. I just had a LOT less responsibility then, and I would like a little bit of that back. I know it has to "get worse before it gets better", but I am a little impatient right now. Like others, ask me again in 10-15 years.

Hopefully my turmoil will have settled down a little by then!

Blessings to all who seek the fountain of youth, Darkstaff

[Purrcatnip]

I would be 23 years old. I would still be fit and firm, and yet legal for everything.

[SylverStar]

22. Yep, definitely 22.

I was at my social "peak" at that age.

Man that is not what I want to hear when I'm turning 23 in less than a month.

[Juniecat]

Sorry, :fofftopic I know



you do...? x_x well, i suppose u might just to get through/around the crowd... :p lol



Not to get around outside...just if you're inside one of the hotels and want to get...say...from a restaurant to the arcade, in almost every hotel you have to walk through the casino to get there. My mother took my best friend and I to Vegas as a highschool granduation present and I was 17. It was really irritating...much, much better when I went back last year for my honeymoon.

:fofftopic lol ah, arcades, i see.... yeah, you do have to go through the casions to get to places like arcades, theaters, forum shopps, shows, etc.... :X i think (or so i've been told) that minors (aka under 21) can walk through casinos, there's just a limit to how close you can come to the slots.... generally casinos have walkways that you can follow to get to wherever you're going without having to weeve your way though the slots, and now a lot of casino's carpets have colors to distinguish the walkways from where the slots areas start... :x i think it's the line where those colors meet that you're not suppose to cross over lol....

but yea, i know what u mean.... the one thing i hate about casions is that there's so much SMOKE!! ><;;;; <- lifetime vegas resident

[Flar's Freyja]

40

Yep.

At 40, I felt empowered by life experience and lessons, and my age didn't show as much as it did at 45.

I would not be in my 20's or 30's for anything. These times were too challenging and the growing pains really hurt.

[Hoot]

I agree. I love my 40s! I feel like I finally know exactly who I am, and what I want, and yes - empowered to get it.

[Xentor]

I'd like to keep growing older.

[mothwench]

actually, i like the age i am right now at this very moment. (26) and who knows, maybe it'll get better and better. if i did have to choose an age from my past i'd say eight or nine, there is no way in hel that i'd ever ever want to go through puberty (which, for me, imo, lasted from about the age of 10/11 up until...oh, about last year... :lol: ) again. :sick:

[banondraig]

i wouldn't want to stay at any one age because that would mean i was stagnating. i might like to "re-do" my teen years, not being so afraid of my parents this time, but i definitely would not want to stay there forever!

[Faery-Wings]

I was going to say 22- old enough to be able to stand on my own, young enough to have little resposiblity. Yet, I hear you who are a bit older than I am saying that you enjoyed 40- wow, that is so refreshing to hear. I have something to look forward to in a few years, instaed of dreading it.:)

[SylverStar]

Ooo I'd like to be 4/5. that was a great age. Actually though I wouldn't want to be 4 today. I probably wouldn't be able to go exploring by myself in this age.

[Goddess Rhiannon]

33. That is the year that I found my soulmate.....unfortunately he is still married......but if it is meant to be.....It will be....sometime in my lifetime.

[Kalika]

18. Because life was soooo much simpler then!!!

[DixieWitch]

I'm only 26, I've experienced some, but want to experince alot more in life. So I can't say I'd like to be one age. Maybe go back in time for a little while...like before my grandfather died when I was 11. Or back 5 or 6 yrs ago when my dad fell at work. He hurt his back and has since had 5 or 6 operations to fix the vertebrae in is spine. They keep deteriorating and they basically have to fuse them together. He's fused more than half way up. He's 50 yrs old, but often feels like he's 80. He's only pain meds all the time. Would love to go back and say watch out for the screw on the floor!! Or go back 5 yrs ago when he cut his right index finger off on a table saw!!

[Golden Princess]

I'm with you Xentor

Still far too much to learn and experience

I was very comfortable with the person I was at 25 (the bod wasn't bad either).
I have recently had a change of lifestyle and attitude and as I head into my 40's (in 10 days time) all I can say is "Bring it on"

[Teshuva3D]

Hmmm,tough question..but I'm finding my current age (39) to be a very interesting one..I'll be forty in november...but the past year has been a very challenging,enlightening,and frighteningly cathartic one...I kind of feel like I'm still young enough to view life enthusiastically...but am old enough to be open to self scrutiny ( even when this yields less than pleasant answers)...sorry so long winded...
I guess I won't mind any future age as long as I hang onto the things I'm learning right now in my life..
( good thread,by the way)

[Flar's Freyja]

It's funny that most chose younger ages. I wonder if you all will give the same answers when you are older. I'd be willing to bet that most of you will change your answers after 40 :D

[Maeglin Ancalime]

Thats why i dont state an answer i know that if I will have a preferd age it will be in years to come.

[Cerulean]

Physically, my facial features looked great at thirty-three. A woman's face continues to refine until her early thirties or later. I wish my bust would go back to what it was at about eighteen and perhaps the rest of my body? I'd love to have the body back I had even at thirty four. I wish my skin was like it was pre- adolescence. Mentally, the things I have learned have just made me bitter since at least thirty four, and before that too. It's hard to say, because I haven't really been happy since childhood but I wouldn't want to remain a child? Or would I?


One thing I know is it's true what they say that youth is wasted on the young.

This is a tough question for me because I got intermittently severe acne at twelve or eleven and still have it at forty-one. My body has also gotten more and more problems, basically from twenty-nine to now. And I was poor from eighteen until not that long ago. I keep going back in time and saying, I want that feature now! Or I wish I could just have it like it was then, now. Perhaps my body has never felt accepted but why did she have to develop severe acne just when I was hitting puberty and other really unsightly problems not long after? It's like I never had a chance. As soon as one things comes together another fall apart. It's like I was born to fail.




Because of events in my life, I would freeze everything at thirty-four and feel a lot better off. I sometimes think about that. If they offered me the body and mind I had then in exchange for the experiences I've had since them, I'd trade.

(I'm taking a chance being honest here. If you don't like me or have something unsympathetic to say, please don't.)
