Lol :-/ Lmao
NGL, 30s are where it’s at. All my 20s people shit on people over 30 acting like they were old and out of touch. Maybe I am but tbh I have loved my 30s like I lived my 20s except I have more money, know what I like and don’t like, and feel zero pressure to do anything I don’t want to. It owns, highly recommend.
out of touch = untouchable
Find a sport you really love. You’ll make new friends, feel healthier, and life wont feel like a waste so much anymore. Its not a cure-all but it sure makes life better.
Yeah, that’s right. Do yoga. Eat good. Exercise daily. Smile and dance once a day. Embrace the sun and a tree here and there. NOPE. I say: find a drug you really love, something reasonably natural, you’ll make new friends, feel good every day, when you buy it and can go home at last, all other problems are just disappearing, no more taxes, career, consume, all gone. No more pain. It’s not a cure, but it’ll sure make life different. Oh, and cultivate your sarcasm, THAT can be a cure.
Still me in my 40s.
You’ll see. Still true
Hate when people say a certain time period of your life should be the best time of your life. Childhood, teenage years, 20s… High school, college… It doesn’t matter. Your life is yours and it’s different than anyone else’s. You’re allowed to have different points in your life when it’s good and bad. Don’t feel like you’re missing out because of some pointless, arbitrary rule that says this is supposed to be the best point in your life.
I miss having free time, you can pirate fine here so as a teen I consumed a lot of media without any money.
I know you might need to hear this. The things you’re doing right now, they aren’t a mistake. There is no answer, no perfect life to live. You’re doing okay. Your life will always be a work in progress. Please don’t feel like your life needs to become something to be worthy of respect. Think back to a time in your life that you regret wasting time. Was the past you content in that moment? Then why regret it?
To everyone who sat on the couch too long. Who stayed in that broken relationship. Who dropped out of school. Who betrayed someone close to them. Or who missed an opportunity. Or who made a minor social error. Forgive yourself for those things. For everything. That thing you’re holding on to. Forgive yourself for that too.
I want you to know that the world is a better place with you in it. You don’t need to be important in your world. Just to yourself.
IIT: angry people in their 20s saying that no one will tell them when to have a good time!
My 20’s were better than my teens. My 30’s have been better than my 20’s.
You know what, you’re right. My 20s have been mostly like the photo in the OP…but chilling out yourself in your own time is still a lot better than the whole growing up through puberty thing.
I have observed an opposite trend
30s are/will be my 20s but financially stable.
Looks pretty fucking great to me honestly. Hanging out at home. Got some snacks, a good game. A comfy couch. A little drink.
Add a pet and you’re golden imo.
Couldn’t agree more
*A pet without Satan’s eyes.
Anybody saying the anythings are the best time of your life is a fucking liar. You won’t know what was the best time of your life until it’s over.

Me, an intellectual: life is suffering. Death is the release.
Man I hate when people act like they’re ahead of me looking back, as if life is on a fucking train track or something.
It is in a way and we’re all heading to the same station at the end.
Last one there is the rotten egg!
Your 30’s are better anyway.
I’m halfway thru my 30s and they’re far worse than my 20s
I’m 32 and have given up on pretty much all of the hopes and dreams that I had in my teens and 20s.
I’m in my 40s and incredibly comfortable, money isn’t an issue at all. Bit numb to life, though but I was living out of my car in my 20s.
That rings really true. I’ve got a few more health issues, but nothing terrible. My material and financial situation is so much better than in my 20s. But still, I’m just a bit numb about enjoying things and kinda nostalgic for when I felt more. And I miss all of the easy friendships from my college and post college years.
I think that’s why some of us spend $300 to buy a GI Joe tiger force helicopter. To try and feel that joy you did so many years ago. Don’t feel depressed, just maybe that I’ve experience so many things that the fun has gone away. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
50’s have been fantastic so far. The 40’s numbness gave way to less fucks given somewhere along the way.
Can I give less fucks than now? We’ll, I look forward to numbness subsiding.
I agree. I finally have the money to do the things I wish I could have done in my 20s. The problem now is that my body isn’t quite what it used to be.
Ha! Wait till your 40s. At least now your brain is fully cooked.
I can see where this trend is heading. I also fully understand the phrase, “Youth is wasted on the young.”
They meant back in the day when a 20 year old could get a bullshit job, and still be paid enough to party, travel, buy nice things and save for a bit for a house.
My 20s were a bit of a shitshow, actually. Had that partially developed brain making a lot of stupid choices and I had no clue who I really was or what I wanted. My 30s have been a lot better, even accounting for the fact that I got divorced. I turn 40 soon and I’m hopeful for the next decade. I fully expect to give my last fuck sometime soon.
