Why are so many people saying 30s are better then 20s...is that some sort of denial or way to feel better about yourself?

As someone who has broken the 30 mark I can safely say that 19-28 were the best years of my life even though some of the worst moments happened during those years. My early 20s were all about being strong and living life to the fullest...my early 30s are all about being responsible and living life for others, while life tries to beat all the strength out my body.

I know results may vary but 30s suck ha and I doubt things will get better as I get older.

Nah, my 20s were better than my teens, and my 30s have been better than my 20s for sure. I've got way more stability now than I did before, I'm in better shape than I was before (well, other than my constant neck pain - that's been with me since I was a teen, and it only gets worse as I age), and frankly I also have way more fun now than I used to. The downside is that I pay a heavier price for the fun these days... Gone are the days when I could drink ridiculous amounts and/or stay up for over 24 hours without it really hurting the next day.

You quoted my deleted post ha. I changed my mind talking about age here because it affects everyone differently, some age like a fine wine and others like an open beer.

I'm happy for you if your 30s are better for you, me I can't help but notice that I'm communicating on an MMO game forum when in my early 20s I didn't even play video games because I was too busy living life and having fun.

meh this is getting too real and off topic...someone add a pretty pic

Isn't getting older fun? You can still DO everything you used to, just takes longer to recover(40 here)

My 30's were much better than my 20's(though that's probably due to an early marriage. Really should be illegal until your 30 lol) and so far 40's starting off with a bang.

Oh, and arthritis of course.

Barbet

I will not be posting my pic. Want to see it find my TS, its there.

Just to let you know. When you turn 30, you turn old, ask any 8 year old. You turn ancient when you turn 60 because 2 times old = ancient. You know your old when people start saying to you... Your only as old as you fell = your old. When they say you turned so many years young = your really freaking old. When they ask if your kids are your grandchildren = you poke them straight in the throat because that's what they deserve! Embrace being old, Own being old, 30 is NOT the new 20, because 20 does not = old. 20 = nearing old. 40 is not the new 30 and even if it is your still OLD. /rantoff

well, depends of how you take it. And kids, for children is every adult old . So I would screw what the others say and rely solely on how one feels

Age is just a number, it's what it adds up to that counts.

This. WAY back when I was 18 i took a job as a cna at a nursing home. I knew people in their late 60s, who complained about being old(and actually nothing physically wrong with them) and just seemed to waste away. I also knew people in their 90s who had more steel pins than bones, oxygen, cancer, etc get up and enjoy every minute of the day.(i learned a LOT from them at a young age. Enjoy it. A child's laughter, a pretty woman's smile. Wind in the trees kinda thing) me personally? I'm older, but never "old"

I sense a disturbance in the force... as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in bitterness and were suddenly silenced.... I fear something wonderful has happened.

Yeah, I was lucky that I didn't end up in a wheelchair. When you're 16 it's super reassuring to have your physiotherapist tell you that she's never seen anyone as young as you with a neck as bad as you

I've got a place I go to that specializes in massage and other techniques for injuries (rather than just normal massage for tension or whatever), and one of the things they do there is myofacsial release. That place helps, but I only ever go when I'm doing significantly worse than my everyday pain, or when my neck actually seizes up and I can't move. If it's just my normal level of pain, it's no big deal because I'm so used to it.

I remember being young vaguely.




Now I'm just an old fart that needs help finding his car keys and yells "what?" a lot.

I don't know chief. Looks like you're doing just fine in that picture for an "old fart".
