I could beat shit out myself at 27, so I have no desire to go back to it physically. But it would be great to just stop time right here as far as physical age went lol.

If I could go back and NOT make the same mistakes, and have benefit of experience? I'd go back to me at 27 and become a stripclub DJ immediately, instead of wasting any more time with architectural illustration/site planning. I would never have moved to Daytona Beach from Austin, Texas, that's for sure. Biggest mistake I ever made, and I've made quite a few.

A friend of mine is about that age, a kickass stripclub DJ in Austin, and having 'the time of his life'.

The number one thing I wish I knew, was not to get married at 24. That was just too young and of course it didn't work out. But I pat myself on the back for ending it pronto when I wasn't happy.

The other thing I wish I could change is my avoidance of sunscreen. My skin would be amazing now if I had used sunscreen over the last 15 years. Instead I look haggard and I need to do microderm and other stuff to reverse the damage.

I wish I hadn't wasted time on relationships where the sex was terrible. Or those other ones, where the sex was awesome but the rest of it sucked.

I wish I had learned to clean as I go, instead of making my place a pig sty and then doing marathon cleaning just so someone could come over.

I wish I hadn't wasted so much money on smoking before I realized I didn't even really like it.

I wish I had chosen better friends, people who were stable and who could still be friends 15, even 30 years down the line. I'm working on that now but it's a late start.
