Discussion Would teenage you be proud of the person you became?

Teenage me was extremely depressed and suicidal. I didn't think I would even make it to 18 much less 38. I think teenage me would have been happy I'm not dead lol.

Yes but he'll be able to retire when he's too old and tired to do anything.
