Too late
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
a kid born in the 90s or someone who was a kid in the 90s (born in the 80s)
I’ve always considered it the latter.
Same. It’s about 90s culture, isn’t it? I was born in the early 90s, I didn’t consciously experience a lot of 90s things. My formative years were the 00s, therefore I’m not a 90s kid.
I thought it was about having almost 100 baby goats
I’m already 43 so I guess someone born in the 90s
Fun fact: if you were born before 1990, your birthday is closer to West Germany becoming a sovereign country than it is to today.
But the kid gets away but we won’t get away from time.
I’ve already got the Sunday blues. And I don’t have the money to cope with a midlife crisis.
Thanks.
It’s been going down hill since I turned 25. I’m just closer to the end of the ride now.
As an 80s kid, hitting 40 was the best thing that ever happened to me. Shit that used to matter suddenly doesn’t, like you flipped a lightswitch. You get new superpowers, and they’re all bitchy. I recommend it to everyone.
Seriously, I’m 41 and over the last year I’ve slowed slipped into fuck it mode. Don’t get me wrong, I still have plenty of things I care about, but so many little things I’ve just stopped caring about and my life is so much more relaxed because of it. It’s amazing what hitting 40 can do to your mindset.
Do you have examples of things you don’t pay as much mind to anymore? I am having a hard time picturing that from just the two comments.
Mostly it’s everyday stuff, stuff I used to stress about now I’m like, eh it’ll get done. Social acceptance is another one, I used to worry about people liking me and couldn’t get past it if someone I thought I was on good terms with didn’t like me. Now I worry about that much less, don’t get me wrong I still want people to like me, but if they don’t I can just accept it and move on.
As an example, there was a guy in my office who hated me, I was never anything but nice to him, but he just hated me. The problem was we regularly had to work together on things. In the past I would have been going out of my way to try and get him to like me and find out what it was that he had against me. Now, ok you don’t like me, let’s just keep the interactions professional and to the point, and I’ll just leave you alone the rest of the time.
Basically you just learn to accept yourself and be happy with the good people and events in your life, and learn to just accept and move on from the others.
Girl, yes!!
I remember a survey done years ago that people say 30s and 40s are the best years of their lives.
that was probably years ago
It wasn’t that long ago. The survey was conducted 3-5 years ago iirc.

Shh! Quiet everyone!

I can almost make out the words…
Turned 40 this past week. Was just bemoaning that most of my company don’t get the :holdontoyourbutts: Samuel L Jackson emoji in slack and now this.
I didn’t need this today…
Hey, at least you’re not the cow in the hoist.

…dude…
Oof 😕I know those feels. Soz dude. I bet you’re sexy as fuck in so many udder ways tho!
The Wife says she finds me sexy.
Turned 40 last month and to be honest I’m kinda struggling with depression right now
Time for a mid life crisis then
Wish I could afford a midlife crisis
You can always pick up excessive running, just because you get a midlife crisis doesn’t mean it has to involve a Porsche.
You age a day everyday, how you choose to group those ~14600 is up to you.
Have you considered eating an entire large pizza and drinking a case of beer about it?
That just sounds like a Tuesday
At 38, 2 walks a day is helping, but I’m bouncing between anxiety and depressive symptoms. It beats drinking or meds!
Working out is also helping, but not as much as the sunshine. Good luck, fellow old fart :).
This is going to sound stupid, but during college, I took a lot of different types of math and history classes.
As humans, we invented years, and ages. Then we made milestones for what they represented. We said, there are 7 days in the week. We said, there are 52 weeks in a year. Some other BS happen and then culturally we said things like by age 30, you should be married. By age 40, you should have a family.
But imagine if we actually made a week 10 days? Or there’s 30 weeks in a year? Suddenly, this is all BS numbers. Back to culturally, why is 30 a specific number? Or 40? Or any of these numbers?
For me, 40 is just a made-up number. It means nothing. The expectations around the number, bullshit. My friend is 55, and we went bar hopping. I hung out with a 70 and played Frisbee. I pitched go-karts and dressing up like Mario Kart to my 60yo neighbors.
Just made up numbers.
Of course, don’t get weird and and try to shoehorn underage relationships. That’s not the intent here.
Sure, to an individual, the milestones seem stupid but they’re the common milestones the average reach. Most people by 30 are married. Most by 40 have an established career and family. But to agree, who cares? We have one life and there’s plenty of worry’s to go around, so don’t add keeping up with the Jones to the list.
I’m ready.
