You suddently find yourself 10 years old again, 20 years old, 30...

Hypothetical scenario. You get to be 10 years old again for a day. Then 20 years old for a day, then 30, 40, 50, 60... up to 90.

What do you do each of these days? you don't have to answer for each and every decade if you don't want to.

10 - Run around a scream just for the fun of it. Go play on the playground again. Go out to chuck-e-cheese and stuff my face.

20 - Try and see if I can talk to a girl, something I missed out on at that age, and still do. Go out and party all night, also something I never did really.

30 - Nothing (where I am now)

40 - Try and talk to one of those sexy 40 yr olds that seem too intimidating now. Travel to Europe and walk the streets of a large city. Traveling feels different at different ages.

50 - Same as 40

60 - Same as 50. Take advantage of a seniors discount (well this would be 65 usually).

70 - 90 - Sit down and talk to others of similar age. I'm thinking of suddenly being transformed into a 70+ year old here. It would be interesting to talk to those in their 70s+ and actually relate better on a personal level. I've talked to my grandfather and I'm interested in his stories but it's difficult to relate as a young person.

At 20 hug my girl.

At 30, hug my wife.

At 40, hug my children.

At 50, hug my children.

At 60, hug my cat.

At 70, hug the bannister.

At 80, hug my bed rails.

At 90, hug myself and close my eyes.

I would spend 24 hours writing to the self who will carry on
after my day was up, on what I have done wrong so far
and how I can make my life so much better.

The other years, 20, 30, etc. would take care of themselves.
