Which decade of your life was/is the best?

@Matt85 if you don't mind me asking... what happened with her?

@astrosandorbits Not at all. She got a bit sick of me and things were moving too fast for her....Marylin Manson released his cover of Tainted Love about the time we broke up and she loved that song. It basically summed up how she felt about me. She was 16, I was 17.

@SammyJo im curious... did your 20s and 30s not turn out quite as well then?

@astrosandorbits Hmmmmm....brief snapshot. So, got married at 18....divorced after I was 20. Hubby found out I hooked. I was working for a pimp at that time. He took my daughter away, I fell further down the drug and alcohol hole, met my now-wife in my later 20's..... so not my finest moments...

30's? Still with my now-wife but we split due to my drug usage, my peers and both our jealousies of the other....so...losing my soulmate? Not my fav time either.

Thankfully re-connected in my 40's and I'd got myself mostly clean of drugs....so that's why it's one of the better decades.

@DoubleRings aww I'm sorry to hear that things came crumbling down for you. I hope things get better for you

@blackarcher256 you're not the only one to say this about once believing in true love. Now that you are older how have things changed for you? Does the world still seem full of promise?

@astrosandorbits I divorced after 32 years of marriage. The last 10 of that was entirely sexless, completely devoid of any physical intimacy or warmth. But I’m free…it’s been a lonely road at times…but I’m feeling my way along…coming alive again….experiencing joy that hasn’t been present in my life for a very long time. But no, the world doesn’t seem to hold that promise that it did in my 20’s and 30’s.

@CrazyMusicLover i really like this answer. Im 29 going into 30 next year... i feel odd about it coming 😅the first half of my 20s were so eventful and fun. Second half calmed down a lot more as i became more mature. But in scared of getting old and turning 30 soon is scaring me 🤣

@astrosandorbits I spent most of my 20s at home. I could have traveled or what not but I didn't because I was scared to travel on my own and I also didn't want to work extra hard to earn money for that. If I regret it? Nah, there's still time to catch up and do it with less anxiety and fear that I'd end up kidnapped into some brothel. 😆
Unless your body fails you and you develop some limiting disease, 30s are mostly what you make of them. And then 40s, 50s etc. It's just sometimes awkward when you decide to do something that most people do as teens/early 20s and what requires spending time in a group. Like doing a driving course. I did it at 29, I wasn't the oldest there but 90% were people aged 17-25, so if you have something to catch up with, there could be situations like that...

@WillaKissing god i bet growing up in the 80s wouldve been so tight. My parents graduated highschool about the same time as you and they always had great things to say about life in the 80s

@astrosandorbits It was the best, I think.

@being isn't it interesting? Reflecting, now as an adult, on what you were once like as a child? So full of creativity and imagination? Crazy how things change so much as we get older

@deadteddy im 29 and my 20s have been interesting. The first half was filled with so many great and crazy memories... i was always doing something. The second half has been a lot different... things mellowed out more and i grew up a lot at 25. 30s seem exciting but I'm scared also🤣

@MyNameIsHurl here's to the best that has yet to come! 🍻

@astrosandorbits let's hope man hahaha

@Iwillwait cheers to the best that is to come! 🍻

@astrosandorbits @astrosandorbits Cheers!

@Lilymoon i was only alive 5 years in the 90s... but man it seemed so chill back then. I wish i got to grew up in the 90s

@pancakeslam kindve crazy... im tempted to say the same. There are many things about childhood that i dont miss... but there are also many things i do miss. One of them being creativity/imagination. Children seem to have more powerful imaginations
