Yeah I thought thirty was old when I was in high school. Adults of a given age have been getting healthier and healthier my entire life. Being childless in my early thirties is also a blessing. But come on. I had time and no money at twenty one. Now I have money and wisdom. And still healthy. Probably healthier than I was at 21.
Sure lots of people in their twenties are still poorly and may be unhealthy but there’s no magic age where life is over.
I’m older than you and still having a blast. I had a blast in my 20s, definitely moreso in the latter half of the 20s too. Being a teenager alternated between joy and misery too often due to hormonal disarray.
At this point I’m generally more content in life than I’ve ever been before.
I was healthier in my early twenties because I actually had time to workout tbh. I need to make the time to start doing it regularly again…

God, it’s easy to overlook how true this is. Looking at pictures of my parents and grandparents at my age is shocking. Less lead, asbestos, and cigarettes in your diet is good for you I guess. People drink alcohol less and wear more sunscreen too, which surely helps.
Yep I sure was emitting a lot of goo from my tube on a regular basis before 21
I’ll add to the group saying things got better by 30. In my case having kids has helped me get my shit together and take better care of myself both physically and mentally.
The first 25 years of my life were a mess. Going through the wrong puberty not knowing why everything felt so bad, becoming an alcoholic, moving every year sometimes twice in a year. I’m early 30s now, making good progress transitioning, quit drinking, staying in shape, down to moving about every other year. This is so far way better than my teenage years or 20s
Great I’m very happy for you! :)
How did you manage to quit drinking? Good for you!
No way. So far, my 30s are the best. I can actually afford to do all those things I wanted to do in my 20s now. Until my health takes a major hit, I suspect life will continue this trend.
Nah, childhood is so depressing. No money, no car, you’re not even allowed to make your own medical decisions. I’m not advocating for giving kids cars and jobs, of course, but it sucks to live through. In your 20s you’re finally allowed to leave toxic situations and maybe get some antidepressants.
Echoing the other comments here. It was right about when I hit 30 that I really started trying to live the life that I want for myself. I still have mental health issues to work through, and sometimes it’s been two steps forward, one step back, but at 37 I can honestly say it’s been an overall positive trajectory.
23 to 29 was amazing. Most of 33 to 41 too.

I would say only the first 18 yrs of the 21 century were good, the rest?
We r fucked.
Trump was elected in 2016. So it’s worse than you’re saying.

I’d say up to about 28.
