if it's a bit it's been a real long-play

I mean, there have been other long plays too though, you know? The difference -- if 3O is indeed a gimmick -- is that those weren't quite as long and they were also funny.

I'm 37 but I can't really say that I feel old. Part of that is that I don't have kids and my career is chill and not physically taxing, so my body still basically works. I've also generally done a good job of taking care of said body, but at the end of the day, I don't feel that old...yet

I'll be 37 in two months and tbh I haven't taken super good care of my :btroll: body but not having kids & having a relatively chill career are probably helping me feel young too.

Honestly this. I've bought a house, gotten mentally and physically healthy, found an amazing partner, tripled my salary and am starting college in a few months. 30s are cool

Last week someone about my age told me they watched a Star Wars for the first time. I asked which one, and they said one with the annoying blonde child. I assumed she meant Phantom Menace, but she was talking about Luke in Empire Strikes Back. I hate this

your thirties are when you’re finally old enough to appreciate how young you are

This is wisdom. I'm 37 but still face the world like I'm 10 years younger and it does wonders for how you feel about getting older.

I was a cantankerous bastard at 27 already so it's not much of a change.

Every decade of your life can be hella cool with the right attitude, I'm 53 this year and making sure I appreciate as many days as I can.
If yyou spend all your time thinking about your 20's you are letting your past and present selves down.
From my perspective, 30 is young, with the bonus of having a fully formed adult brain.

I'm sick of seeing animated weiners french kissing in every fucking GBS thread.
My sciatica dropped off when I started wearing hokas with measured insoles and bought a mattress that suits the way I sleep + my Ehlers-Danlos.

I still get sciatica, it's just not waking up and jumping out of bed and almost falling on the floor anymore, and it's infrequent rather than constant.

How do you stop thinking about the past?

I feel like I was always thinking about the past, even in the past.

Always look forward. What's something new you can learn / experience that you couldn't a year, a month ago? Leave the old stuff in the past and always be chasing something new and unfamiliar. For me, it's music, but it could be any number of things to other people.

My back pain has vanished since I started squatting and hitting DLs. Plus ive got forearms like goddamned Louisville Sluggers now.

30s have been great. Switched from a toxic chef career into an email job, moved countries, got married.

Looking forward to maintaining the momentum and becoming a very successful person in my early 40s.

From what I can tell, Mid to late 30s are either great or really bad.

You are at the age where you hopefully have checked all the boxes, stable career, own a house, have a nice car, a spouse, children if you want them, savings for retirement, actually thinking about retirement as a thing that is actually going to happen.

Everyone I know in that place seems really happy. That said, if you aren't and are perhaps not anywhere close to that place, I hear you have crushing fear that it is too late for you to get there and you are going to be stuck in a lovely rental for the rest of your life and your retirement involves either dropping dead on the job or lots of rice and beans.
