  Early 40s here. I never understood my generation’s obsession with “growing up”, I remember as a teenager, a lot of my highschool classmates would pretend to be older than they actually were and dismissed some hobbies and activities as “for kids”.

  When I was in university, there’s was this massive start of the year party for all students, as a first year student of course I attended and had the time of my life. Next year came by and asked some classmates to go with me and I got a response that I still remember to this day “you’re almost 20, aren’t you a bit old to be attending college parties?” like dude read the room, we’re college students, the party was organised for us.

  Now that we’re here, all grown up and middle age, what do we do now? I know I’ll be having fun tonight

    Life is for having fun, it doesn’t mean it awards you fun for lying in bed for 16 hours straight. You have the opportunity to go and make your own fun.

    One of the best things I ever did for myself was find a job I liked doing.

    Until I was in my 30s I just thought that I hated working. When I found a good job I could get up on a rainy Monday and not hate myself.

      As someone with a 5 month old, who has been laid off and unemployed for 6 months, I just want money. Rather, I need money. Soon bills will go unpaid so we can eat…

      Point being, I’m going to hate any job I get because I’m just going to look forward to going home and being with family. This time with them, while super fucking stressful, has been amazing and I don’t want it to stop.

  I should like to point out, however, that your 50’s are for having fun.

  My son’s bus driver named Mohammed McGillicuddy always talks about all the fun he had in his 20s and 30s trapping small elephants in his yard and tagging them like common train cars. He moved to the city in his 40s and he’s still having a blast but now his thing is growing Kentucky onions for his daughters wedding in 6 years.

  True, but the “way” you have fun can change.

  Except for video games. That shit is gonna be eternal for my ass.

  Now that I’m in my fifties I feel like a bag of shit, but I had fun getting there.
