Maybe this hits harder if you're sick or in actual danger of dying young (ish), but... man. I'm not going within a million miles of this filter.
I would not want to be young now and participate in the bullshit they feel pressured to participate in, but if you put me back in my body at twenty again, without the blown-out heart and the ruined spine and the trashed rotator cuffs and the bad knees - well, I already had those, thanks to the bumper of a Geo Metro, but still - I think I could find a way to not give a fuck about social media or social expectations or any of that shit. I'd treat that body like somebody just handed me the keys to a Lambo - no more smoking and drinking and doing hard drugs and eating shitty food sitting in front of a computer for decades. I'd go wander the earth like dude in Kung Fu, eating like a hippie and not wasting my time on aspirational capitalist bullshit.
Nobody I know wants to be a young person now. But most of us would love to be a middle-aged person in a young person's body.
