    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.

      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.

        Yeah that was my vampire age - like if I could have stayed any age, 45 was it. Looked so good, felt so good. Sex drive like a teenager (maybe nature trying to make me reproduce before menopause?). I do think that may be the physical peak. Like, I still feel really good but 45 was it.
