I miss the era (mid 90’s to early 2000’s) but I like adulting.

No. I might have said yes 10 years ago, when I was an angsty, messed-up, confused, directionless 20-year-old, but now, as a mellowed-out, stable, grounded, and gainfully employed 30-year-old, I’m fine with where I’m at and don’t need to go back.

Yes. I definitely miss the 90's/early 2000's. I would go back in a heartbeat.

I would go back only if I can go with the knowledge and maturity I have now, and changing and fixing my life righting all the wrongs I did and becoming a better person.

I don’t miss being a kid, but I do miss a lot of things from my childhood. I’d much rather bring those things to the present than go back and relive my youth. However, 20-25 I would be interested in going back and re-living.
Movie and record stores, especially mom and pop. Arcades and the fact that arcade cabinets were everywhere. The local tv station which went off air 10 years ago. Magazines and comics at convenience stores and gas stations. Drive in theatres. And all sorts of specific local stores and restaurants that aren’t worth mentioning because they wouldn’t mean anything to anyone on here. All things I wish were still around.

I was threatened, weekly, by a classmate in elementary school. Definitely don't miss that. Adulthood isn't all sunshine and rainbows, but, my middle school elbow injury, turned into arthritis. I can tell when rain is near

I miss wrestling when I was a kid, but other than that I like being an adult.
Not gonna go into detail but I was very heavily bullied and some undiagnosed mental disorders came about that I have much better control over now, so other than being home watching cartoons and playing WWF games, I really didn't enjoy it as much as I should have.
As an adult the main things I have to worry about is stuff like money, bills, work, etc. But at least with those I don't feel totally alone, because I know everybody else deals with it every day.

Given I've dealt with depression since I was like 9 or 10, no.

Oh dude, all the time. You're less aware of bad shit which permeates your thoughts more than it should, you haven't lost a lot of hope in people, you have no bills, no real responsibilities. Your body was pretty much in top condition; I was a fat kid and even I could run for hours and hours and only stop when told to. Not waking up every day sore or something not working like it should. No real anxiety. I generally enjoyed things more and felt more real feelings. And I'm a pretty happy guy in general, but moreso as a kid. It's hard to live on this earth 30+ years and not have it change your outlook for the worse even if it is slightly and barely noticable to you. I think if you talked to most kid versions of ourselves, they are generally happier, more enthusiastic, optimistic people than we are now. Maybe because we were dumber, but often times in life that is the trade-off.
I love driving, being independent, having more control of my life, and occasionally partaking in one too many alcohols amongst friends. But yeah, if I could go back for a couple years, I absolutely would.

The anxiety part is what made me realise. I had no anxiety when I was a kid, did not give a damn about anything and then 21 came and I felt like I couldn't bare to be around anybody.

I don't feel like I really remember what it was like to be a kid.
I'd give just about anything to jump back to high school or college with my current knowledge and maturity though.

Yup. Toys Getting meals cooked for me. No bills Cartoons on Saturday mornings while I eat my cereal on my Incredible Hulk tray. Wrestling jobber shows and not seeing the same match up every week. Going over to friends house and getting royal treatment.
Going to great grandmas house for the summer.

I do like being an adult, but I was in a lot better health when I was a kid so I wish I could go back and tell my younger self to take better care of my health.
