it took me about two years to truly realize i was in my 30s (I’m a bit stupid) but once that happened a massive weight lifted from my shoulders. i suddenly realized, wait, I’m a grown-ass man, i don’t have to deal with this bullshit. i became more confident, took no shit from people and stopped dealing with teenage drama. yes about 10 years too late but that’s when i realized some of the shit i used to entertain didn’t even matter.
Nah man, this is literally how it works. You ever notice how alot of folks who have kids or married someone they shouldn’t have super young feel like they never got out of their 20s? They never had the time to understand their own nature or the nature of the culture around them.
That social anxiety, the assumed judgment, the paranoia that everyone’s looking for a moment of weakness to exploit… Ya know, the feeling of being an adult who still feels like a teenager.
Your 30s are where you lose that, or at least I feel like you should. Early, mid, late, whenever. It’s just important that you do

I literally found my purpose in my 30s. Nothing was meaningful nor worthwhile in my 20s
