My favourite thought is tattoos.
If I had gotten a tattoo at 13, it might have been a dick.
At 16, it would have been a unicorn
At 18 it would have been a big arsed, ugly dragon.
At 22 it would have been some sort of occult symbol
(and don't forget all those boyfriend names!)
By 30, I would have been disgusted with all of these,
and now that I'm 60 and watching my skin sag, I'm thrilled I have no ink.
That's just me. But - decisions in youth are often regretful.
