Put your life into a larger context op. You're actually very young and will never be old. No matter what you're doomed to a short and insignificant existence. I mean cheer up OP the 30s are the new 20s or whatever.

Depends on how u treat urself/how lucky you are. I have friends my age who complain about how it sucks to squat down to pick something up or how their back hurts all the time and I don't have any of those issues. I got longterm poo poo from old sports injuries and somehow im still less hosed up lol. I have zero back issues, I can move around how I want, and I'm not constantly tired, but I also regularly take yoga classes, exercise at home, try to eat right. I also don't do poo poo like drink coffee nonstop. I think a lot of physical issues people my age have are often times just because of being sedentary so yeah no poo poo ur back hurts if all you do is sit all day, your muscles shorten and atrophy and you'll place more emphasis on your lower back doing basic movements because your hamstrings are so pathetic and immobile that it needs to pick up the slack. People who have repetitive stress issues from work are a whole different ball game and that poo poo isn't as easy to solve. But I legit know people almost ten years younger than me who make me feel young and spry because they're already bitching about their knees lol.

I got a colonoscopy a few weeks ago at 41 (cancer runs in the family) and as I was waiting in the pre-op area, I overheard an older nurse telling a younger nurse to check out an old band called Nirvana. And then the doctor looked to be about 12. But no, 30 isn’t old, and 40 isn’t either.

Seeing the moment when someone in their twenties gets called sir or ma'am by a teenager for the first time is the best, it's so loving funny. It's like natural ego death step one.

and no. When you're 10, 20 seems old. When you're 20, 30 seems old. When you're 30, 40 seems old... etc. etc. "How the gently caress am I 50+ all of the sudden?!" Well, at least I'm not old....

I'm in my mid-30s and don't feel physically any different than a decade ago for the most part. I haven't lifted weights with a regular schedule in years though so I'm not as muscular as I was but

Halfway through 36 here. Sometimes I feel old, other times I feel like I can still hang. Most of my friends are younger, from early 30s to mid-20s, and I like to stay close to music because I feel like it helps feeling 'in touch'. The unfortunate thing is that it's difficult to keep up the other side of that as you get older; the alcohol and drug use and late nights that go hand-in-hand with going to shows and parties regularly. I'm still working on making some of those lifestyle choices but I've taken some steps - starting a day job that's still close to music and hopefully to some networking opportunities, exploring other creative hobbies with similar potential, and no longer hanging out at dive bars with people who aren't really friends (this one is the most difficult, I'm obviously still sore). And it's already shown, I still have lapses but I'm in a good routine now and I feel pretty great most of the time. But yeah, even the front half of my 30s when I was still hitting a lot of the vices, I could tell I was already beginning to let go of some of the general anxiety that plagued me in my 20s and prevented me from seizing opportunities. We all wish we could have jumped on that sooner, in a sense these are regrets, that are a bummer to think about. But to put it more bluntly, giving less of a gently caress is something that I think happens around this age and it's usually got a positive outcome. I had a lot of fun between like 32 and 35, more so than my 20s. Physical fitness too, is something that (if it's important to you) starts to change drastically. It sucks how long it starts to take to recover from an injury (or a hangover), or how I no longer eat mountains of pasta for dinner and still stay lean. It takes a lot more effort and consistency, maybe some supplements you weren't using before. But I'm probably in the best shape of my life, even with some faltering here and there it's a point of pride that physically I feel pretty 'young', compared to a lot of people around me who are oft complaining of their bodies falling apart.

Being in dive bars doesnt make me feel old insomuch as it makes me feel weird about the amount of time I used to spend in them. Was recently back in Detroit and hit up an old haunt for lunch and was like drat I spent so many summer afternoon absolutely wasted inside this place. My spot at the bar has just been taken up by some new whisky swilling hipster

pencilhands posted:Looking to hear from some oldgoons itt. I wouldn’t say im having a mid life crisis or anything like that but having just recently turned 35 im really starting to feel “old” for the first time in my life. You drink alcohol every day. You should drink less alcohol and more water and do barefoot yoga as the sun rises. Also this is about the age when a man should give prunes a 2nd chance. I Miss Snausages posted:William S. Burroughs lived to be 83, you might live long enough to join the singularity with your internet connected toaster. Not only that but he wrote many times that heroin was keeping him young and other junkies similarly did not age and that someone should find the special "molecule" in the heroin that keeps you young. Personally I think 3O should chop off his pinky and replace it with an Internet of Fingers device so that he can gift the original to his husband.
