If you could be any age forever, which would you be?

For me, 14. I don't really care about all the freedoms I'd lose....I'd be a stupid kid again. Anything from 10-16 is fine, really.

Even the smallest things feeling like the end of the world is something I miss. I miss when my world was so small the dumbest shit felt important. And it was okay that I was like that, because of course I was.

17 was great. Realistically, 30-39. I'm 60 now.

8 years, because that was the time when I had no worries and played with my best friend in the woods during the summer.

18 is the best choice

20. I think my life peaked around that age.

35.This was the age when I mentally had my shit together and I was still young enough to be in pretty good shape.

Either that or like 10 so I have zero responsibilities.

Assuming that all that is changed is my body, and I don't get mentally changed by it-- 25 years old.
If I did get mentally changed... 16 years old. I was at my happiest then, and everything about my life was clear as day to me.

I hate to be debby (donald? maybe for men?) downer... but... whatever age you would pick, if you are that age "forever" eventually it's no different mentally than aging.

Physical changes as we age are definite... IF you could freeze your body at a specific age that would have some meaning... stop physically aging and stay at your peak fitness of 30 years old or something forever... that has some merit. But you can't stay 8 or 16 or 25 mentally forever. Not unless you have your mind wiped every year or something so you don't retain any long term memory. As long as you live and experience things, you will age mentally.

Think "Interview with the Vampire" and the girl who was turned into an immortal vampire at 10 or however young she was... and she ages mentally over the year but is stuck in the physical body of a 10 year old.
