My bank account and accomplishments say I’m 25. Check & mate.
40 is the new bankrupt
I just turned 41, fuck you for accuracy…
Oldest end of gen z, staring down the barrel of 30. Low key excited but still a lot to process lmao
3 more months!! I’m excited! Aging is a privilege!
Forty was fine. I didn’t feel old at all and was in a decent place mentally. I’m now 49, and I have a feeling 50 is going to be somewhat jarring. It just feels undeniably mature.
Fist time I got an AARP flyer in the mail I wanted to punch the mailman.
But your doctor warned you about overexerting yourself like that, right?
Turned 40 last week, just got mine. Definite WTF moment for me
Why do I feel not 33 even though I am 33
in my 50s now. mentally, I feel like I’m in my late 30s.
in my 30s I felt like my mid 20s.
in my 20s I felt like mid teens.
all of this is wrong because your perspective changes as you age. just because that how you feel you felt then doesn’t mean that’s exactly how you felt.
better way to put it, you can’t feel emotions until you have them and once you’ve had them you can never feel how you felt then.
you are 33. I am 52. we are the age we are and nothing else matters.
Holy crap
I feel like I have been 33 for at least 10 years
Reminder that your generation contains all the best and worst of humanity, like other generations, and is not a like collective.
Leading up to my recent 40th, I went on a little tour of contacting people to tie up loose ends/seek closure where it was lacking. It was really helpful, even though at least one person worried I was planning to kill myself.
the person worrying about you sounds like a great person
Meanwhile, retirement age is speeding away into the distance…
There was never any hope to retire
I remember when I felt invincible, like the world is my oyster. It felt like yesterday. Even though I didn’t achieve everything that I hoped, I’m glad I was raised to just enjoy the journey.
I won’t be able to handle the embarrassment of being where I am while being 40.
Where is the button in Lemmy for flagging posts as “false and misleading”?
I got another half a decade thank you very much
Looks at me brother. I am already in my mid-40s.
