    Anywhere between 28-32. Old enough that people take you mostly seriously but young enough that the world still feels like it’s set up with you specifically in mind.

        Get a solid workout routine and make sure to stick with it. Whatever you want your goals to be, start now if you haven’t yet. Don’t put off taking care of your health.

    25, maybe 30.

    Your brain doesn’t finish developing until around that point, and it’s the part that helps you control your thoughts and emotions (prefrontal cortex). There are no other advantages after 30, though, and the development been 25 and 30 isn’t as vast as 18 to 25.

    That said, I’ve been blessed with a middle aged 40 year old body since I was 12, so meh. (And really, I should have been given “most likely to do his taxes on time” title in the yearbook.)

    Early thirties. Peak physical, loads of free time, good paying job, so good money.

    I miss the endurance I had. Everything else is still like that.

    I’d say around 25. I’m still fit and perfectly healthy at 33 but I’m not getting any healhier from this on.

    If I can keep my current development I’d go for 25. Otherwise I’d prefer to stay my current age. 25 is a nice age but I wouldn’t like to be an actual 25 year old in mind again.

    probably 18. Free enough to do whatever I want but young enough that society doesn’t expect any responsibilities from me.

    Maybe 22 or something.

    Turning 30 in a few months and definitely feel that, due to anxiety and depression, I’ve “wasted” the last 15 years of my life.

      I just turned 40 this year. I had the same thing when I turned 30 - I had wasted most of my 20s doing drugs and partying. I can honestly say that my 30s ended up being the best years of my life (so far)

    26 or 27. That’s when I fully cooled down, so seems my brain finally finished baking then

      Damn I didn’t cool down until last week and I’m 41. I wish I could have been sane when I was in my twenties.

    I liked being 16. Mature enough to design grand plans. Naive enough to actually try them.

    Plus the greatest adversary I face for the rest of my life would just be standardized testing :P

    I’d say probably 22-24. I’d prefer a little older for sure, but at age 25-26 a disease I didn’t know I had got much much worse and has effectively robbed me of half my life. So a little younger for me.

    \35 Those were the best times. Your body’s still young af but your mind has grown up and gained some wisdom.

    My vampire age was 45. Absolutely would keep that body forever, sex drive like a teenager but stronger, happier, more experience, physically I think that was my favorite but honestly feel great now too, and no chance of getting pregnant so maybe I’d keep this one.

    I see people saying 25 and 30 but my life has definitely been an “it gets better” experience overall. 30s were the worst point so far.
