    Happy birthday! I remember turning 25 and feeling so old. Now I’m in my thirties and it rules. Well, the world sucks, but on a personal level, don’t sweat it. You’ve got plenty to enjoy now and plenty to look forward to.

    A comic by Sarah Andersen where she is told as a kid that life is basically over after turning thirty, until she opens a door to ‘life after I turned 30’ and found it was rainbows and flowers

      30s. Those were the fun years. Am 61 now and NGL, once you hit 50 and get gray and wrinkles… you find that people will give you even less shit. Which is amazing! Some say that it’s the aches and pains that come of age that suck the most, but I’ve always been a bit on the clumsy side with a high pain threshold, so it’s been a constant since I was a teenager.

      The only thing that changes in your 30s is that you stop giving a fuck, but that changes everything.

      I’m in my mid-40s, and ngl I feel like peak me (so far)

      • RBWells@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Yeah that was my vampire age - like if I could have stayed any age, 45 was it. Looked so good, felt so good. Sex drive like a teenager (maybe nature trying to make me reproduce before menopause?). I do think that may be the physical peak. Like, I still feel really good but 45 was it.

        Dr. Whosticles.

      • humorlessrepost@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Back in my day, the exchange rate was 100 foreskins per miracle. Not sure what that is in testicles.

        I think the problem is that the timelords don’t take left testicles.

    I’m in my 40s and each decade of my life has been better than the last. You live and learn. You make mistakes. You grow. You can use that experience to make your quality of life better.

    Cut out toxic people, start an exercise routine, learn how to cook good meals, practice your time management skills. Not that I haven’t wasted most of today watching AEW, but I did some sprints this morning so I’m resting.

  • funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    ayo. old head here.

    At 29. I had a pact with myself to kill myself before my 40th birthday.

    I’m 43 this year.

    If you take one piece of advice away: life is always worth living, there’s always a tomorrow, no matter how bad you feel that feeling is not forever and things can change and you can change them.

    I have struggles, doubts, frustrations, rages, disappointments, set backs, failures and, indeed, depression. But I lived. And even today I had a bad moment, I was feeling super low - but this evening I had a wonderful time with some friends and came home to my wife who I adore.

    You made it to 25 and I knew a few people who didn’t when I was 25. Now I’m forty fewer people have made it with me.

    I miss them but we get to see what’s next. You get to see what’s next.

    Enjoy being 25, 26, and beyond

      43 this year too. 42 was a wild ride and 43 isn’t shaping up to be any less crazy.

      If I could offer only one piece of advice, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proven by scientists, where as the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.

      And no, there was no copying, nor pasting involved, I just remember that “song” very well. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, it may be worth looking up, because as I’ve gotten older, the advice in that “song” has only become more accurate, more true, and hit home a while lot harder year after year.

      I really disagree with this. Except the child part, 25 year olds are basically children whose brains have just finished maturing

    My lot passed around an antique sword cane - when you hit 25, it was yours till the next 25. Wonder who got stuck with it? (Sorry.) Am 75 now, btw, shooting for the full century.

    Nah, the real tragedy is turning 27, that’s when you no longer get discounted rates on the speed train here in Germany 🥺 Gotta ride around as much as I can before it’s over for me in October.

    I’m sorry you don’t want to be 25. In my experience, 30 is far better, so just hold on and do your best 🤗

    25 was good, insurance costs often go down, you’re more likely to now be seen as a responsible adult by default. Your body is probably not rapidly deteriorating.

    The best I have for you all at that age is, you’re probably not feeling a effects of age yet, you can probably still party and most of your friends aren’t married with children so you probably still have people to party with.

    30’s you recover more slowly, your friends start getting sparse as they start their own families.

    40’s you have to work to not fall to sloth, energy isn’t a given, you have to schedule to get time with your friends

    50’s you need to start being careful about how you do things. your friends have grown children, if you don’t do body maintenance you will fall into disrepair and it’s hard AF to get out of that. Many people find stuff they used to enjoy eating now causes them discomfort. Your knees, back, ankles might pop when you get out of bed or occasionally when you go up steps
