    honestly 25 to late 30s is the best.

    your an adult that can do whatever the fuck you want, not give a fuck what other ppl think and your body is still invincible.

    every hole is a goal, find love and travel the world.

    The day I turned 29 all of my joints started hurting forever.

        As you grow you will keep appreciating the growing amounts of personal development

        Eventually you think back to when you were worried about turning 25 and you’ll think “why would I ever wanna be 25 again? I had so much less knowledge and experience back then”

            For me it’s the knees. I can still shit and bang and drink and do all the same fun drugs I did at 25. But I miss my cartilage.

                If you’re not shitting then you need to see a doctor, friend.

                Otherwise, if it’s not your jam there’s nothing wrong with sitting it out. In fact I don’t recommend drinking as heavily as I have or take as many fun drugs as I used to (I can still do them but I choose to heavily limit myself) because there are long term consequences.

                  Saw a Dr.

                  Cost 200 bucks and he said to take a day off and shit.

                  JK. I’m pooping fine, thanks for the concern though!

          Then you shake yourself back into reality & remember, “…oh yeah, because I was hot & my dick worked.”

            Back then: hot, working penis, can’t get laid
            Now: older, not working penis, can’t get up

          ~ 35 is definitely golden era … at least for men. Old enough to be in control of your body and emotions, but still young enough to have spontaneous energy.

            Nah son. I talked over this with my dad, starting career and being independent is the best. Having kids and supporting a family really puts a damper on all that freedom and possible recklessness. Being at school was the worst fucking time ever too, bullies at home and dad being shitty at home.

              And nobody forces you to have kids, you know? If anything that’s just saying to make sure to make choices that you will be happy with in your life

                Yes, I chose to have kids and change nappies, doesn’t make it any less disgusting when the shit starts going everywhere, and a billion other things I knowingly signed up for sucking.

                “This is going to suck, and be worth it after”
                Later : “this sucks”
                You : “LOL NO ONE FORCED YOU AMIRITE?!”

                  We’re in a different political climate than when you were young. Today’s youth can’t afford to have children, and even if they could, they know bringing a child into a world of impending climate collapse is a cruelty.

                  They’re jealous of your privilege and resentful that you still find the time to complain in front of them even with your good luck. They wish they could care about problems as simple as yours. But alas, your struggles are no longer relatable. They’re just reminders of how good you have it compared to them.

              I have a family that lives an adventurous life with me. They don’t hold me back. Kids are so malleable. They don’t hold you back unless that’s the life you create (obvious exceptions for special needs kids may apply).

              And “recklessness” is part of my youth I was happy to leave behind.

                Older children, sure, but there’s a lot more intense childcare that takes up a lot of time with the baby. I am kinda in some of the exception circumstance, but not with the kid.

                On top of that, if you’re the sole breadwinner, you can’t just drop your job to go do some stupid shit, like I did earlier.

            I’d say a bit earlier than that personally (wife and I agree that 28 is around that sweet spot). Old enough to have independence and chill out, but young enough that you don’t randomly end up with a headache all damn day because you slept slightly wrong.

              I think I just took longer to mature. At 28 I was still working on my temper and impulse control.

    Me except I’ll be 28 in 2 months. People constantly remind me how I’m getting closer to 30.

      My brain broke a bit the first moment I realized that, if I had a kid the same age my mom had me (early 20s), that child would be over 21.

      While I’m not old enough to have a 25 year old kid yet I do think my 30’s have been better so far than my 20’s were!

    Ah yes, the old quarter-century crisis. We got another one here, Bob, send em the welcome package. (The welcome package is multi-vitamins and sore knees)
