Can you believe that you are at the age that you are now?

I can't believe that I am in my 30's. I am nowhere near where I was hoping to be at this point in my life 🤷🏾‍♂️.

It still messes with my mind that I've been on this planet for over half a century (53 years)...just difficult to fathom sometimes.

Funny this came up, I was just in the kitchen and that Alanis Moresette song "Thank U" (1998) came on. I thought, "Back when this was new I was 23 and still had fun, still had hope for the future. My son was still a baby." Now my son is 23.

Yeah looking at stuff in the media, by age 30 we should all be in a solid career, healthy 401K, living in suburbia, and with our dream partner.
Reality doesn't quite work like that.

@CestManan Yep. I didn't understand that college is no joke, part of the reason I am at the place I am in now.

@SubstantialKick Whether better or worse, I think a lot of us pictured our lives to be different than what actually happens.

Actually I never expected to even reach age 30 but here I am at age 51 for crying out loud.

@Wraithorn All that talk of WW3 and AIDS back in the 80's, I think a lot of us thought we were going to be gonners by 30. Sometimes 50 sounds old to me but then I remember it is less than 5 years away for me.The hell happened?

No. In my head I'm still 18

@assemblingaknob My mom said the same thing when she was 70. In our minds we always feel like that same rowdy kid. Our bodies remind us otherwise.

@tunechi I was hoping to be done with college and be married by 25, then maybe 30. Nope. Still single, still in college, and still living at home...LMAO.

Tbh I always thought I would have committed suicide by now. 😬
SubstantialKick · 31-35, M
@DearAmbellina2113 Yikes...I actually had some thoughts about it, back in early 2014. Very dark time for me.
