Anyhoo - What you say make a lot of sense, but it's not something I remember thinking that much about until quite a lot of water had already gone under the bridge. One thing to remember (and here's where your photo contributes to this beautifully) is that when you look at a mirror, you don't just see your "NOW" - you see the end result of everything in your PAST as well! We are, right now, the accrued experiences of our pasts. When we're young, we tend to ignore our past as having little relevance to our futures. But over time, hopefully one day we'll realize the amazing things we can learn from our own past. The bottom line is, it's what helps turn us into "whole" persons. (And by the way, it's one of the signs you've stumbled into the Middle Zone. Congratulations (or my condolences, whichever is appropriate)!

When I was 12, 13 I really longed for NSW and to go back. But maybe that's different as well. I'm quite sure when I hit 35, 40, 45 that I'll say 'so NOW I know what they were talking about.' Either way, the shower is a great thinking space. My mind has done a lot of good work in there. Maybe I don’t get what you mean, but I find myself looking back and longing for things and I’m 22.
