The world needs young people and we’re currently running low - a well documented downward trajectory.
I’m childless and I’m trying to invest in relationships with my friends’ children—though there’s not many of them either—so that maybe, hopefully, someone thinks to look out for me when I can’t do it for myself. It‘s also just genuinely rewarding.
Actually…at 36, I think most people on this app are younger than I. SUPPPP

As a young person.
People in their 30s are so Normal and Locked In and they can just talk comfortably, plus they have life experience to share. I‘m looking forward to being that age.

"gen z is aging like milk!" "gen z is a bunch of snowflakes!" "gen z is trying to cancel eminem!" pleaseeeee, anyone who actually generalizes an entire group of people based on them being born within a 15 year span of each other, go outside immediately. interact with people offline. I'm begging you.
specifically so tired of this "gen z is aging like milk!" conversation where the comments just turn into a circlejerk of people being like "I'm 57 and look like a 16 year old actually haha these gen z kids look even older than me!" and that belief being affirmed by others saying the same thing in their own comments. I would say most people probably look their age. some look younger and some look older due to environmental or genetic factors, and that's okay. its okay to age prematurely, it's also okay to look middle aged when you're middle aged. I don't look like a teenager anymore because I'm not a teenager, and I would not want to look like a teenager lol
the whole conversation just reeks of projecting your insecurities around aging onto others. and I don't mean anyone who has been told that they look young is insecure because there are people that do of course, but the ones that try to put people down to make themselves feel better need to get a grip
anyway, rant over. just be happy to be gifted life and the privilege to age, not everyone gets to. we are all living on this beautiful planet together just trying to survive. cut the person who maybe has some premature aging some slack, they might be going through something causing it. just be more empathetic, we need it in the world right now 🫶

30, 40, 50 — they’re nothing like how they looked when I was a kid!
Part of this I attribute to the Internet and feeling much more aware of or connected to the younger worlds than I otherwise would be. Plus I have no kids and few responsibilities.
I remember when my dad turned 40 and we had a party for him being “Over the Hill” with black balloons and stuff lol

I’m not a company girl by any means, but I’m also not about burning professional bridges. Go out gracefully. Even if the job is eating you alive and potentially a corrupt shit hole, show them what kind of excellent human they'll be missing on your way out the door.
Then run for your life. It’s totally worth it.
