The turning older crisis

Many freak out when they're seeing their first gray hair or when they turn 30. I never related to that feeling. I wonder why. I'm fine getting older. I think for me it's freedom and opportunity feelings associated with aging.

I like to learn more, to get more experienced and wiser, I like the mentor role and I don't really miss being young. For me being young was chaotic and sad and I had no protection. As adult I got my own back. I'm able to keep me safe and happy.

I also know myself inside out today, which makes life easier. I can still suprise myself , that will never stop no matter how old I get. But I'm grounded in a way I never could as a teen , not even in my twenties.

I like the grounded solid foundation me. And I like the possibilities it leads to.

I am finding the 30s to be a great age. Just hits the sweet spot of being physically fit & mentally sane lol. I'm enjoying it so far

@SW-User for me 30 -40 was my peak physical and I was also peaking mentally.
@SW-User I'm hoping I'll be like you in mt 30's. Right now I'm not in good mental or physical health.

@SW-User I can't relate to mentally sane but I'm physically stronger than I've ever been.
