Other than the potential of things yet undone and the ability to eat whatever I liked without gaining weight, there's not a hell of a lot I would want back from my 20s.

I love getting older. I always tell people that I don't think of birthdays as getting a year older, I think of them as leveling up.

I'm level 41 now, and I hope to earn enough experience points to make it all the way to level 80, or even level 90 one day.

Sure, I can't run quite as fast, but I still try to run. What's best, though, is that I get all the increased abilities that come from leveling up. More wisdom, more knowledge, more credibility, and maybe even a bigger kingdom if I do things well.

When I was 21, everything was hard. Talking to new people was hard, getting a job was hard, even getting taken seriously was hard. I paid those dues already, I have no interest in going backwards. I'd rather keep leveling up.
