Same, there’s not enough money in the world to entice me to deal with hormone fueled insanity again. I occasionally take a round of corticosteroids and they return just a fraction of that emotional volatility. No, just no.

That said, it’s pretty common for people to feel like their younger years were the “best years of their life.” Some of that comes from being ignorant of or not having to deal with adult level problems. Some of it from just how the human brain stores long term memories; by creating a lot of shortcuts and glossing over details.
One thing I’ve learned is that life is hard. But being hard doesn’t also mean that it can’t be good.

Some lessons need to be learned the hard way but they’re usually the most invaluable. Like plants need sun and rain but sometimes only a big turd will really boost growth.
