Something missing

Sometimes I wish I could go back and relive the last fifteen years with the knowledge and the confidence that I have now. Perhaps I might actually have achieved more if I hadn't been so busy growing up. You would think that at 28, I might be feeling somewhat more like an adult - hell, I'm even sporting my first two grey hairs. Surely that should count for something.

But I always feel like there's something not quite there. That one day something's going to click and I'll finally realise that I've arrived.

Am I the only one who feels like this?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by the "something not quite there." But as for the 'if I knew/was/could be then as I am now' thing - pretty standard daydream fodder for me.

I'm terrible for the "if onlys."

*sighs*

So I guess no, you're not the only one :)

Strangely i'd only go about making my "mistakes" quicker and earlier with the knowledge I've gained, because I've learned much from making the mistakes. at 28 I still don't want to grow up, and have no inclination to do so still. I'm yet to enter the real workforce also, but at least plan that this should happen at some point.
