- Utterly. Feel 20 inside, maybe 28 in some of the bendy outside bits. There's a part of me that I left by the speakers, screamingmikotondria3

For some reason, on my 35th this past year, I started tripping out on how much time is left. I'd never done that before, just did what ever, even if it was bad for me.. Live what I just did and I'm 70. So I quit smoking on my birthday and started for a better healthy lifestyle. It's been about 8 months and it's given me a little sanity.

It's been said that people under about age 37 or so see themselves as "temporarily immortal"

I just turned 38. I'm not in 'pristine' shape. So last Feb I lost like 25lbs over a month of very calculated eating habits; bad? probably. It eventually caused my chest muscles to freak out and I was waking up at 3am with chest pains with every breath that were 'heartattack-like' - never had anything like that before. So I go to the emergency at 3am and they run a battery of x-rays and the doc comes in and says good news chap, not a heart attack but btw you have scoliosis that's "not insignificant". 'and it is what it is, if it hasn't been a problem for you for the last 30 years so you're prob good to go'. Welcome to your 30's. The end.

Seems like a disproportionate chunk of life is spent "being old." Once you hit adulthood, you've got your 20s, 30s, early 40s maybe...and then another 40-50 years of being middle aged, old, and near death.

seems like as long as you don't let yourself fall into some kind of rut and give up on life it doesn't really matter. just keep trying new things and you'll never lose that sense of discovery or find life uninteresting
at least that's my plan anyway
- keep shit interesting. best plan of attack.prophetone

I fucking sprained my foot in my sleep. Not sure how that happened but probably has somethign to do with being old.
I also groan a lot.

30 was the time i looked back at my childhood dreams "where will i be,what would i do when i'll be 30..." Lots of expectations, lots of disillusions.....but it's getting better since i was 35,but i'm still working on it.

Nothing hurts as much as leaving the target demographic. All those advertising dollars no longer intended for you. I wonder how I'll entertain myself once I realize none of what is made anymore is meant for my eyes.

I'm 39 tomorrow, I am not going to lie: the past year (and no doubt the next one) has been tinged with a grey cloud of existential angst in terms of what I have, or haven't achieved. However, I am beginning to find a mutual solace in the bitter ramblings of curmudgeons and grumps. But I do sometimes get filled with a blind panic about where I should be and am not.

next time you feel bad about being old just look at your nearest 20 year old. they're fucking idiots and still have the delusion that the world gives a shit about their little dramas
