    You start to form genuine opinions on topics, not just parroting tidbits back to people.

    I once heard someone say:

    “My teens were my body’s puberty, my twenties were my mind’s puberty. By my thirties I started to have a handle on things.”

    That has really stuck with me. I’ve loved my thirties!

    I’m in my 40s and, uhhhh…

    Depending on how you’ve played your cards the best part is that you’ve ditched your shitty “friends” and have your 5 or less close friends now.

    You’ve solidified the music you like. The books you care to read.

      I’m 25 and still sorting out the books I care to read. I’m overwhelmed with choice, particularly interesting works in genres that I don’t find much joy in.

    For me it was when everything professionally and personally started taking off.

    Finally got my crap together. Career taking off, got rid of my toxic relationships, adopted several cats, getting into really good shape.

    Every year is my favorite year. Currently 55. Only reason to go back would be to undo stupid shit i said/did.

    You start to really see who is here for you and who is here just to fuck around. You are surrounded by people who are both and after I hit 30, a lot of it became clearer as to who I should be returning my energy to.

    a few years in my thirties was my best time of life. Was able to afford living near the city which was also near my work. I don’t think that has to do with age though as much as stable employment.

      tbf the stereotype of young people being happier and more active and carefree has to do with the societal expectations involved with the age too, at least on my experience.

      i don’t think anything says we couldn’t ease up as a society with trying to make everyone miserable for a change.
