You are not a "boomer" if you aren't in your twenties. You are not irrelevant if you aren't in your twenties. You don't go straight from being a kid to being "old". Stages of life are fluid and vary for each person, and should be savored to the fullest of your means to do so.

Stop letting internet memes about age, height, and general state of being have an actual impact on your mental health. They mean nothing, and don't benefit you in any material way.

edit 1 part 1: this is the worst comment section I've even seen in any Hexbear thread in all my years, except for @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net who is as always the best of us

edit 1 part 2: generationalism is also made up, don't let people put you into boxes and further don't put yourself into a box that someone else made up for you

There was literally a 1 year period where i went from "young" to "okd". Like in 2016 i was young and virile and then the next day i woke up and it was 2023 and i was old. And it'll happen to you!

What do you mean it's 2023, I'm pretty sure we're still in March 2020

Reading the necrocum article yesterday has fully convinced me that I'm choking on a respirator somewhere in 2020 and the last couple years are just the fevered dreams of my dying brain
