People in their thirties
 

Is there really a way you should think like? I tried to subscribe to that idea, but either I'm too fucked up (it could be) to realise 'things', or just too good and nonchalant. I feel ever so more mature than ever, still I have little in common with the majority of people my own age.I haven't got a clue of where I stand on either counts. Help.

it is a bitch. all i know is you gots to keep on rockin.

you need no further advice

Im in my early 20s but somehow i feel like im in my late 30s

ditto with ikara... but I've always been more mature for my age

you should think by youself like yourself age has nothing to do with it

I had my inner child surgically removed when i was 13

I'm halfway to 32. Yikes.

don't worry. it gets better.

lol. The impending death of teenagerdom is very very freightening.

It's not as if I really needed your advice, anyway. I'm quite happy with myself, whatever the age. Just wanted to see the response.

I can only imagine what I'll be like in my thirties - my way of thinking. I have enough troubles now at 23 thinking I'm washed up and redundant whilst thinking of the somewhat old days.

i thought my 20s were good but my 30s are better

really? nothing to fear-- life really is more fun when you live on your own and more or less know who you are.

I totally identify with that. I'm much happier a person than I was in my 20's. It's just that most people my age seem miserable all the time.

I'm getting a little irritated that when one of my friends has a birthday, or its my birthday they always say something to the affect of, "ohhhh I'm getting so old!!" "Don't you feel old??!"

No. No, I don't.

that's because the apex of their lives arrived in high school, and everything is downhill from there. if you choose to continue evolving, life gets better, on the other hand.

God, I hope so. The thought of that is what keeps me going.

Just what I used to say (and meant) until I found the right person for me.

you adopted new parents when you turned 18?

That doesn't even make any sense!

it's because we were discussing the transiton from teenage years, not marriage

No, the discussion was about "People in their thirties".

oh no no. this one is a subplot. see macrodollar's post.

Ah! Nobody briefed me about subplots!

I withdraw my statement in connection to your subplot, but leave it in place in case it fits in with the main plot and/or any other subplots which have arisen or may arise in the future.

ok. on a separate note, what's up w/ the flag?

I was a big fan of rockabilly as a child, and the flag was always used as a symbol, and I've always found the confederate flag an incredibly striking piece of design work.

I have to admit (partial) ignorance of its full connotations and political meaning.

oh. i thought you were advocating for the KKK.

Oh yes, that as well.

Blatherskite, get out of this body !!!

Would it have helped if I'd put ;) at the end of my last statement for the hard of humour.

Yes, we are all very serious boarders here. No Joke. Only wise posts.
Ok ?;)

at least you don't get carded for smokes.

i'm loving that this new generation of older people are evolving into less of what their parents were like. (ie-baby boomers and the ones that followed)


and hopefully this generation won't stick to that god awful poodle old lady look when it comes to their hair in their 60's/70's/etc.

i'm way off subject.

I can't say that I'm all that conscious of my age. I mean, I guess I've picked up knowledge as I've gone through life, but I don't really think of myself as a forty year old.

There is a word for that.:)

Sure, thanks. This thread is about people in their thirties, though.

But do you feel better able to deal with the cockroach problem now you're in your thirties than you could at a younger age?

I think that you just reach a stage in your life when you grow used to the person you are and stop thinking that you should be someone else.
