I feel like an old woman with the mind of a young girl

Do I feel old or young because of my age? This is a somewhat complicated question. Sometimes I feel like an old woman because of the way I think and see life, but I know that inside me there's still that little girl or teenager who didn't know how to live that stage of life properly. I feel like I didn't enjoy it much because I was practically trapped in a super toxic relationship that led me to waste all my youth. That's why today, at 31 years old and being a mother, I can say that there are days when I definitely feel young.

But when I say young, I mean young in spirit, because physically, I feel like a 50-year-old woman. I'm overweight and have a lot of pain in different parts of my body, like an old lady. At least I'm trying to change things a bit and give up some bad habits. Another one of those habits is eating healthier and exercising, because I feel like I can look young again if I lose a little weight. That's my goal for next year.

Many associate feeling young with having a free, happy life full of adventures, but for others the reality is different; we were never able to fully feel or live that phase that is so important in life, and sometimes we feel longing for those days that cannot return.

If you had a second chance at something, what would it be?
Well, this question is even more complicated. There are so many things I would love to relive and have the opportunity to do it all over again, knowing what I know now. But I would take advantage of my second chance in 2021 when I started selling drawings and was doing incredibly well. At that time, I squandered the money I earned. I had never earned so much money, and I simply wasted it. If I could go back to that moment, I'm sure I would think things through much more carefully and would have invested that money in something real that could support my family for several more years.

Although I did manage to buy some nice things like my computer and upgrade my tablet, I also bought countless unnecessary things and spent exorbitant amounts of money on poor-quality items that didn't even last a year. The worst expense was a gaming chair, which I found incredibly uncomfortable and ridiculously expensive. It slowly fell apart before it was even a year old, haha. Anyway, that was the worst time for the world because of Covid-19, but for me it was the best because I could work doing what I love most and earn money doing it. However, I was too immature to manage my money better.
