Discuss

I was just looking at a friends Facebook and saw some pics from a cple years ago...with coworkers I havent seen in a while and I realized I really miss my old coworkers and job. I am very happy now...but I just had a really sad moment I felt old too! It was only a couple years ago...but life was soooooo different then....not married, less responsibility and all that. So crazy how much we age in just a cple years!

YES!!!

I see old pictures and think... 'What was I thinking!' LOL,, it usually isn't bad that I feel that way, just looking back thinking I should have made a better decsion.

But sometimes when I see those same pics.. I think about what FUN and exciting times they were.

I definitely do, when I see pictures of friends from my old job it brings back such good and happy memories. Brings me back to a time when I lived carefree, hardly any stress and just had fun. Now that I am older and have more responsabilities it just makes you feel sentimental when you think back to a time like that. I loved the people I worked with at my old job. I still go out with them now and then and keep in touch with some of them. Sometimes I wish I could go back in time for a few days

i think

'wow i was so quick to grow up but now that i am i dont want any of the responsibilities'

I miss being a teenager - I had a lot of fun - I wish I could do it all over again - and not b/c I would want to change anything - I would do it all the same again - but I really had such good times growing up on my block with all the neighborhood kids....It was such good times.....and also around the time I met DH was a great time also - my best friend and I had so much fun, we hung out every night and always had fun no matter what we were doing - just driving around, singing to the radio, drinking way too much coffee and smoking way too many cigarettes for our own good just good times....

Its funny how back then we couldnt wait to grow up and be out on our own and now we wish we could go back to a simpler time

i've been working for as long as i can remember ugh, i was always so ahead of my time/age i can't remember not having responsibilities even when i lived at home i was giving my parents money, paying for stuff, cooking, cleaning, doing laundry - i really had to help out a lot as a kid (and i mean i was doing this stuff when i was like 12) - but it paid off in the end now i am suzy homemaker

OMG so true!!!!!!! I couldnt wait to get the helll out of my house.... Now I want to go home (to get rid of the household responsibilities)

Yes I was a lot thinner back in the day (when i thought I was fat) and it depresses me big time!!!

Yes, a few from high school and college. For a few years in college I put on a lot of weight and I just look at the pics and think how disgusting I look

I look back and am disgusted b/c I gained so much weight.

also i look back and wonder how my hair used to be so frizzy, and now its super flat. So odd.

Sad that i wasted so much time on stupid crap - mostly focused on meeting Mr. Right from 14-21. I mean I had a great time going out to shows/clubs from 14+ but then I think of all the time I spent working starting at 15 and how much I should of just enjoyed my life a bit more by really exploring things more so then what I did. EDIT: So when I see pics of when I was at clubs and hardcore/metal shows I go DAMN IT i should of done something other then follow around my dumb boyfriend.

I am lucky to have had the life I had but there are parts of me that wished I took advantage of the things around me a bit more. Namely learned to play hockey when I was 16 like I wanted too - I see a pic of me in my jersey and hockey stick and go WHY WHY didn't you try!!!

ITA.

oh definitely! Like if i see pictures from High School, I so wish i could go back and visit the good old days. I had the time of my life then.

That also happens with my old job. i have pictures of me with the little kiddies I worked with last summer and the summer before that and I miss it sooo much. Working at the preschool was sooo much fun during the summer season because we had things like Water Day, crazy hair day, etc. I remember filling a small pool with spaghetti once for the kids to play in! hahah. Man, I miss that. I had great co-workers too. Even though I'm better off now, I still wish I could be back there, ya know? It was just sooo fun!
