Next year I turn the big 40. One thing I've realised is I've started to get annoyed at my younger self. Especially at the version of me between the ages of 19-25.
I worked shifts. Had countless days midweek off. Nobody around to hang about with, so I sat in my room. PS2 controller in hand, trying to get Max Payne to the end of quest or countless hours aimlessly driving around liberty city/vice city and san Andreas. Most likely hungover.
If I could go back I would put my arm round myself and say "you want to go to Alton Towers, pleasure beach, Eden camp, IWM and alot of other places. It's ok to go on your own. You don't need someone there to hold ya hand. You've got a car. No mortgage/bills and adult life to get in the way. You don't need to arrange a baby sitter for the dog, so they can give her, her epilepsy tablets. It's sound, go fourth and be merry."
I'm not sure if this is a midlife thing. Feels like it.
