One day you wake up and you're in your late 20s or 30s and everything feels like it's moving too fast. You miss something you can't name, not a person, not a place, just a feeling, the feeling of when everything was brand new, when small moments felt huge and time moved slower. You miss being young without even knowing it, missing that feeling of being alive over nothing. You miss having friends who are always around, summers that stretch forever and conversations that lasted until sunrise. Now everything requires a plan, everyone's busy and hanging out needs three weeks notice. The magic of ordinary moments just vanished while you weren't paying attention, you just want to slow down, to feel present again, but you can't go back. You can only watch yourself become someone who remembers being someone else. It's the cruelest part of growing up, missing feelings you can never recreate.
