Youth. Just saying time is basically asking for some monkey's paw shit.

Even asking for unlimited youth is tricky for the monkey paw could just make you forever a baby.

Now that wouldn't necessarily mean you'd end up being an adult brain in a baby's body, just straight up a 1 year old that never develops, always reliant on someone else. You'd literally have 1 year before you'd be surrendered to some sort of institution as a medical oddity whilst you comprehend nothing doomed to overwhelming stimulus forever.

Best you could hope for is specifying an age in your life you consider to be what your physical peak was and just deal with the lack of mental development completion if that physical peak was before being roughly 25 years old.
