What I miss most about being young

Turning 45 next month and I've been thinking about how much has changed. I miss the freedom I guess. Sleeping in without feeling guilty. Going out whenever I wanted without planning childcare. My body felt different too, I could eat garbage and not feel it. But honestly I wouldn't trade my kids for any of that. They're getting older now and I'm starting to get some of my life back. There's something good about each phase I guess.

45 is rough because you start seeing the reality of it all. The sleeping in guilt is so real - even on weekends I feel like I should be doing something with the kids instead of just resting.

I'm not there yet but watching my teenager grow up has me thinking about this stuff too. You can't get the freedom back but honestly once they're older things shift and you get some of it back in a different way.
