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 very excited about it and it just feels right. I think women start reaching their peak hotness at age 40 and then continue to age like fine wine so I’m looking forward to that too. My plan is to start seriously attempting to grow up in some ways but we’ll see how that goes; I’m probably just going to extend my adolescence in other ways because I have the freedom to do that. Mostly I just keep thinking about how when I was a kid who were 30 seemed so OLD but to be fair it’s not my fault they were like balding. Or like I keep seeing that people I know from high school are parents or watching things and being shocked that the mom characters are my age 🤡 but I don’t know it honestly feels pretty meaningless and arbitrary to me to mark and judge my life using age as a measurement

My brain is about twenty years behind my actual age so it’s been physical things like my hair disappearing, my back hurting, gums receding, etc that show me I’m older.
All the big milestone birthdays have been notable because I don’t care about them. I didn’t feel like I expected to feel at 30 or 40 or 50. (there isn’t a maximum age on this app, I hope!)

In other words, being 30. Feels good to be a grown up.

The occupation persists, the oppression persists, the torture persists.
The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished.
People who’ve paid attention won’t be surprised by this photo from Gaza.

I’m 50, I say because that makes me unusual in this context. I paid [redacted] for a ticket to the Eras Tour after listening to tswift for 3 weeks, and it was worth it. In second grade my teacher gave kids birthday spankings over her knee, and in sixth grade my teacher told my mom I hadn’t blossomed yet. I’m a good friend, mostly to people on the internet. I’m good at conversing with strangers. I’m usually the oldest person at the show but don’t feel like it. I’m good at being helpful. I’m sarcastic and funny and make myself laugh. I’m a good graphic designer and a conscientious driver. I’m a good photographer and I can successfully follow recipes. I don’t use my Peloton enough. I did a lot of caregiving for my mom for several years, and we enjoyed spending time together even if it was mostly in waiting rooms and my car. The fastest I ever ran a mile was eight minutes and six seconds. I drove the same car for 20 years and then replaced it with another one. I enjoy tipping, giving money to people on the street and Disneyland. I am a fan of baseball, Formula 1 racing and the Criterion Channel. I solve about 80% of New York Times crosswords. I take Prozac and Wellbutrin, and take Trazodone to sleep through the night. I wish I had a glassed in solarium so I could sleep in it on rainy nights. I would like to have a pet cat and a garage. I could happily live eating only cereal and fruit. I overshare on the internet and undershare elsewhere. ✌️💛
