Writer's Block: Forever young?

[i_amthecosmos]

[Error: unknown template qotd]Well, that's pretty much the recipe for hell there, isn't it? If I was 22 forever, that means I would have kept getting tattoos and having anonamoyus sex with people I didn't care about. I would be running from relationships and me and my husband would have never dated. I would just be running the same loop. I'd be at the clubs right now, getting drunk and trying to think of a story to write, but never actually putting pen to paper.

It would be horrible.

So...if you wouldn't want to be stuck at 22 forever, what age WOULD you choose? They didn't specify it had to be a young age. Could be like, 5 years ago or something.

Personally I would actually love to go back to about 21. Maybe even 20. Yeah, it's mean I could never legally drink, ever, but I had a damn good time my sophomore year of college!

None, because the payment for this is my memories would stop. Therefore I won't grow. I'll be that age forever and not learn or do anything.

I would much rather grow old.

Oooo, I think I misread the prompt. I thought it meant that if I chose to stay at 21, I would have to sacrifice all of my memories that I have currently from 21-30. But when I went back to 21 I'd just stay at 21 forever and from there start to make other memories. That's a whole other ballgame. You lose some of your current memories but you do get to grow and form other memories. Just stuck in the body of a younger person. Which could be good or bad. But yeah, the way you're suggesting it, it's like a Groundhog Day situation, where you really are stuck at one age, never moving past that point. That would probably suck.
