I think seeing how fast many people turn into people they would not have liked when they were younger. It’s probably part of growing up but many people seem to not remember what they wanted to do better than their parents.
This is painful. My wife’s friend turned into her (wife’s) mother, the person who she previously claimed she most hated. In this individual’s case it’s that when she had kids she stopped caring about doing better.
I can see how life has brought out deep compassion in me. But I imagine my younger self would hate me and think of me as a pushover who is not enjoying life, basically a loser who wasn’t radical enough.

I’ve noticed 99% of parents become so fucking boring to hangout with. They either stop coming out, or are tame versions of their past selves.
