As you grow you will keep appreciating the growing amounts of personal development
Eventually you think back to when you were worried about turning 25 and you’ll think “why would I ever wanna be 25 again? I had so much less knowledge and experience back then”
~ 35 is definitely golden era … at least for men. Old enough to be in control of your body and emotions, but still young enough to have spontaneous energy.
Nah son. I talked over this with my dad, starting career and being independent is the best. Having kids and supporting a family really puts a damper on all that freedom and possible recklessness.
I have a family that lives an adventurous life with me. They don’t hold me back. Kids are so malleable. They don’t hold you back unless that’s the life you create (obvious exceptions for special needs kids may apply).
And “recklessness” is part of my youth I was happy to leave behind.
I’d say a bit earlier than that personally (wife and I agree that 28 is around that sweet spot). Old enough to have independence and chill out, but young enough that you don’t randomly end up with a headache all damn day because you slept slightly wrong.

Then you shake yourself back into reality & remember, “…oh yeah, because I was hot & my dick worked.”

Back then: hot, working penis, can’t get laid
Now: older, not working penis, can’t get up

And nobody forces you to have kids, you know? If anything that’s just saying to make sure to make choices that you will be happy with in your life

I think I just took longer to mature. At 28 I was still working on my temper and impulse control.

“Oh, right, I could get hard without supplements and my bowl movements were so normal I took them for granted”

For me it’s the knees. I can still shit and bang and drink and do all the same fun drugs I did at 25. But I miss my cartilage.

Must be fucking up my 30s. I don’t do any of those things. :(

Try to keep your bowl movements to a minimum so you don’t spill your soup.
