Not having a heart condition until I was 18 into my 20’s.
I deeply miss being able to just go and do things without having to worry about whether or not I’ll have an SVT episode – can’t run, can’t jump, can’t do anything that gets my heart really pumping……-.
Keep your health in check and please see your doctor regularly.

For me, it’s the social/interactive aspect of browsing through DVD covers at Blockbuster, which really made the moviegoing experience fun imo before streaming fully took over.

Investing. I had a business class in HS that had a 8 week competition on the stock market where each student got 10k in imaginary money that went off the real stock market. This class was during the bear stearns bankruptcy and a friend of mine suggested I invest in it. Put $3k when it was like 2.50/share and it jumped to $8. Sold a lot of my other shares and used the rest of what I had and bought at $8 and it jumped to $15. Safe to say I won the competition and was 2 dominos pizza richer. Apple, Microsoft and Amazon were trading in the $20 range back then.

Being like everyone else. As a late kid/early teen I believed myself so special because I had more intellectual maturity than my peers, and because I wasn’t interested in what people my age were interested in. Now I am lying in the bed I made for myself – alone and lonely.
I’d slap my younger self if I could.

Boredom. I used to fear it, now I mourn it.

My grandmother tried to teach me Polish, but I was not interested. It would have been much easier to learn then…..sigh.
