The one birthday where she didn't wear her age as a badge.

[-] fifbiff@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

[-] ooterness@lemmy.world 51 points 1 month ago

Apparently, 78 or 81 is a perfect age to run for President.

As long as you're a white guy.

And either a pathological liar or mentally absent.

Well it's 6pm here so I'm off to bed.

feeling young starts at 420

[-] applebusch@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

That's... not how grey hair works. Oh unless she died it red and let it grow out... Hmm

[-] Anyolduser@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 month ago

Sure it is! It all goes at once. Just like baby teeth. /S

I read 60th as Goth and I blame the font

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

me too; that's the dumbest 6 I've seen

[-] Eylrid@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

However old you are is the oldest you've ever been

[-] nantsuu@fedia.io 5 points 1 month ago

You're older than you've ever been and now you're even older, and now you're older still https://youtu.be/TdIRrmNN_CQ&t=0

I am not old, but I am clearly past the factory warranty.

[-] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

That just means that you've unlocked "I can do whatever the fuck I want"

[-] savvywolf@pawb.social 15 points 1 month ago

Recently turned 30, and am super stressing out about growing physically older, missed opportunities, wasted time and starting things late (yes, yes, I know it's an unhealthy mindset). The amount of people that keep dismissing my feelings because "30 isn't that old" is frustrating.

[-] elephantium@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Hey, age 30 is when I started to feel like "a real adult".

I hope the people saying things like "30 isn't that old" are trying to reassure you but communicating badly.

Unfortunately, none of the things you listed are things you can do anything about. I mean, you obviously can't go back and re-live your 20s! What you can do is consider missed opportunities and such as motivation -- keep an eye out for things in the next decade you don't want to miss.

Obvs I don't know everything you're going through, so I'll just say: good luck.

i felt like an adult around 30 too. suddenly it hit me like, "wait a second, I'm fucking 30, i don't have to put up with this bullshit". it was the best realization ever. that's the first time i felt i stopped being a teenager. no more stressing about other people's opinions, no more drama, no more bullshit.

30 isn't old; it's just when you roughly find yourself. and that's great.

The brain is fully developed at around age 26, so this makes sense. Still not old though since you're not even middle aged by the world's mean life expectancy.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I don’t even think it’s that. I think it’s that it takes time to build and establish a life. Your 20s are figuring it out and starting. 30 is when you’ve got it down

[-] el_abuelo@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago

Use that to empower you to do the things you want to do. You don't know how much time you have, regardless of age.

Also use your 30s to build habits that will help keep you active into your 80s. Resistance training, cardio, and eating right. I struggled with this until my late 30s and while I'm making great strides now, it's a much harder fight in your 40s and 50s.

[-] Rolando@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

It's unfortunate that people are downvoting you. Those are legitimate feelings to have. I felt the same at that age, so I made some changes (moved out of the college town I lived in, and started taking my job seriously.)

You gotta try yoga and meditation, bro. It'll make you age better and appreciate your time better.

[-] xorollo@leminal.space 10 points 1 month ago

The 6 looks like a G. My 60th will now be my Goth birthday.

[-] Lennnny@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I absolutely read it as Goth birthday and thought "what a cool thing to call it!"

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I’m the oldest I’ve ever been and the youngest I’ll ever be

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It's the other way around for me. I'm 47. My daughter hates it when I call myself an old man. "You're not old, dad! Stop saying that!"

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Last i heard 70 was the new 30 so...
