    Happy birthday! I remember turning 25 and feeling so old. Now I’m in my thirties and it rules. Well, the world sucks, but on a personal level, don’t sweat it. You’ve got plenty to enjoy now and plenty to look forward to.

    A comic by Sarah Andersen where she is told as a kid that life is basically over after turning thirty, until she opens a door to 'life after I turned 30' and found it was rainbows and flowers

      30s. Those were the fun years. Am 61 now and NGL, once you hit 50 and get gray and wrinkles… you find that people will give you even less shit. Which is amazing! Some say that it’s the aches and pains that come of age that suck the most, but I’ve always been a bit on the clumsy side with a high pain threshold, so it’s been a constant since I was a teenager.
