I'm philosophically opposed to it. I don't even actually want to go back. I just miss the feeling of it all.
My late teens through twenties years were prone to euphoric levels of joy from just seeing a band play, gathering with my friends, people being funny at a party, becoming totally smitten by someone. Just being out with some of the people I found fascinating, with cigarettes and coffee, at night, driving with the windows down, talking excitedly, all that shit I worry kids don't do as much anymore.
I know that for all of those highs there were plenty of lows. Too much boredom, anxiety, depression just from being young and sensitive. I like being on the middle path, having things feel steady, secure, and just continuously low-key satisfying. It's better. I miss the highs. I know that's dumb.
Related dumb desire: regularly longing to freeze my kid in time.
I am nostalgic in weird ways, but I totally don't want to really go back. And I luckily never felt like I was born at the wrong time, related to music or anything else, even though I came of age being really into music that was made like 35 years before my time (Ornette, Sun Ra, post-bop, Cagean revolution etc.).

55Yeah I just wanna be near a pool eating cuban food right now. I can tune out most of the shit, though not so much the eventual rising sea waters. Ah well, would be worth it for a while..

Re: Dumb Desires
57This is so dumb but the heart wants what the heart wants:
a .22 LR lever action Henry carbine and a Leupold 3x rimfire scope. There's something very zen-like about whacking cans at 50 meters over and over.
Also, shooting .22 is cheaper than eating M&Ms, so after the initial $500, the rest is the cheapest bullets on the planet and aluminum cans.

59This post snapped me back to my childhood where my dad and I would go to the sporting goods store on a saturday morning and get a box of 50 .22 rounds and plink cans in our backyard (rural Maine).
