The one birthday where she didn't wear her age as a badge.
I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Apparently, 78 or 81 is a perfect age to run for President.
As long as you're a white guy.
And either a pathological liar or mentally absent.
Old age starts at 230.
Elf mindset
Well it's 6pm here so I'm off to bed.
feeling young starts at 420
That's... not how grey hair works. Oh unless she died it red and let it grow out... Hmm
Sure it is! It all goes at once. Just like baby teeth. /S
I read 60th as Goth and I blame the font
me too; that's the dumbest 6 I've seen
Being old is a mindset
I am not old, but I am clearly past the factory warranty.
That just means that you've unlocked "I can do whatever the fuck I want"
However old you are is the oldest you've ever been
You're older than you've ever been and now you're even older, and now you're older still https://youtu.be/TdIRrmNN_CQ&t=0
Recently turned 30, and am super stressing out about growing physically older, missed opportunities, wasted time and starting things late (yes, yes, I know it's an unhealthy mindset). The amount of people that keep dismissing my feelings because "30 isn't that old" is frustrating.
Hey, age 30 is when I started to feel like "a real adult".
I hope the people saying things like "30 isn't that old" are trying to reassure you but communicating badly.
Unfortunately, none of the things you listed are things you can do anything about. I mean, you obviously can't go back and re-live your 20s! What you can do is consider missed opportunities and such as motivation -- keep an eye out for things in the next decade you don't want to miss.
Obvs I don't know everything you're going through, so I'll just say: good luck.
i felt like an adult around 30 too. suddenly it hit me like, "wait a second, I'm fucking 30, i don't have to put up with this bullshit". it was the best realization ever. that's the first time i felt i stopped being a teenager. no more stressing about other people's opinions, no more drama, no more bullshit.
30 isn't old; it's just when you roughly find yourself. and that's great.
Hey, age 30 is when I started to feel like "a real adult".
The brain is fully developed at around age 26, so this makes sense. Still not old though since you're not even middle aged by the world's mean life expectancy.
I don’t even think it’s that. I think it’s that it takes time to build and establish a life. Your 20s are figuring it out and starting. 30 is when you’ve got it down
Use that to empower you to do the things you want to do. You don't know how much time you have, regardless of age.
Also use your 30s to build habits that will help keep you active into your 80s. Resistance training, cardio, and eating right. I struggled with this until my late 30s and while I'm making great strides now, it's a much harder fight in your 40s and 50s.
It's unfortunate that people are downvoting you. Those are legitimate feelings to have. I felt the same at that age, so I made some changes (moved out of the college town I lived in, and started taking my job seriously.)
It's not.
You gotta try yoga and meditation, bro. It'll make you age better and appreciate your time better.
The 6 looks like a G. My 60th will now be my Goth birthday.
I absolutely read it as Goth birthday and thought "what a cool thing to call it!"
I’m the oldest I’ve ever been and the youngest I’ll ever be
It's the other way around for me. I'm 47. My daughter hates it when I call myself an old man. "You're not old, dad! Stop saying that!"
Last i heard 70 was the new 30 so...
