The way that Earth's first animals reproduced held back life's diversity for millions of years, until stress and competition led to the development of sexual reproduction, which in turn accelerated the pace of evolution.
I mean, yeah, I have kept my inner child alive too, but I don’t feel remotely the same from when I was 18, which in my case is a positive. I have better people around me now, I feel a lot freer and like I can be myself now than when I was 18. I understand the world on a deeper level. I am more accepting and patient. I am less angry and I’m gradually building selfworth, which I didn’t have at all at 18.
I like aging because I continue to grow towards the person I want to be in life, and not being forced to be someone I’m not by people who don’t care about me.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong about feeling the same as you did when your were young. I just can’t relate myself because my experience is that life is not just one continous journey, but multiple births and deaths of the soul. I’m going through a death right now where I know that once I’m out on the other side of all these challenges, things are gonna be so nice, but right now I’m saying goodbye to who I was these past ten years which is kinda rough, because overall, I really liked this decade of my life and it was a lot better than any prior decade before it.
Maybe that will eventually hapoen to me but not yet. I know I am objectively different from when I was an 18 year old but I don’t feel different.
Even old people feel like maybe 30 inside. It’s weird looking at your aged body and feeling like a young guy in your mind.
More mature, more wise from life, but otherwise the same. Less emotional drama, which is very nice.
I wonder what that feels like.

I hope it makes sense xD
