...I know what you mean sags (born in '52 here)
and, dont you find yourself thinking more, and more, about those days...?
I've long said that, provided you were raised in a good home , how could you ever be happier than you were at 12, 13, 14 years of age?...
When dealing with anything, really. Losing a loved one (healing). Gaining - be it financially, building a car, building a physique, studying, waiting ... and what we do with that time - having patience, productivity, enjoying it, etc.
Time is the most valuable/precious commodity (along with water, especially fresh water) and are among the top things taken for granted.

...or even 11, for that matter ! ^
HP - my mom always remembered that when she asked ME that question -----(I was a little younger than 11), I said : "a MILKman!". There you go, to each his own (remember now, this was in the days when Kelsey's milkmen were still coming to the door delivering milk, in the glass bottles..... I must've thought: what a great job! ....still do!)
hahah....I was countin' em down.... to see if "Honky Tonk Woman" would show up!!! (there it is - No. 4!)
I got my drivers licence in June/69 ...and HTW was released July 4th. Always remember that summer driving around in the evenings with the b'ys....windows rolled down...and that song just BLASTIN' on the (AM ?) radio in (mom's) car!
No booze, no drugs ....just FUN TIMES! sigh.....

^No one would have believed in the last years of the twentieth century that the peaceful district of Saanich was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this district about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. Yet across the fields, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this district with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.
And, in that fateful day in May came the great disillusionment. The deer army attack was swift and merciless. The peaceful folk of Saanich never stood a chance.
