Don’t worry too much, it’s only for a year
Happy birthday! You don’t need to enjoy your birthdays. I didn’t for years. But you made it and keep your head up my dude/dudette!
I dont want to be 35, but here we are buddy.
Oh what I would give to be 35 again, when you’re 36 like I am you’ll understand how good you have it
36? Luxury! When you reach 37 like I am you’ll really understand how good you have it.
37? Ha! I was there, Gandalf. I was there three thousand years ago. I was there the day the strength of men failed.
You’re practically in your grave at this point
But why! It only gets better and better from here!
But now you can rent a car in the United States! Unfortunately you have to be in the United States to do it
I mean…you could rent a car, and drive to canada.
Or Mexico
Twenties are hard. Looking back, sure I would live them again with the knowledge I have now. But never again without this knowledge. This knowledge exists because I lived through my twenties, and they were hard.
Well, the years start comin’ and they don’t stop comin’.
Best fed to the rules and hit the ground running
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.
The only thing that changes in your 30s is that you stop giving a fuck, but that changes everything.
I’m in my mid-40s, and I feel like peak me (so far)
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.
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.
I’m in my 40s and each decade of my life has been better than the last. You live and learn. You make mistakes. You grow. You can use that experience to make your quality of life better.
Cut out toxic people, start an exercise routine, learn how to cook good meals, practice your time management skills. Not that I haven’t wasted most of today watching AEW, but I did some sprints this morning so I’m resting.
Don’t worry friend, in the blink of an eye you’ll be saying the same thing about 30.
Besides 25 is a great time. You’re likely early in your career so you’ve got plenty of choices still to make and probably not that much tying you down, and you’ve likely still got plenty of healthy years left with your body, especially if you put in the work and keep it fit.
Pretend that yesterday you were 40 and you just woke up this morning 25 again. Imagine how young, energetic, hopeful you’ll feel being back in your young body again. Go for a run.
Congratulations, you’re one quarter of a century old now.
Only in base 10 though.
I feel for you, I’m 54 and I wouldn’t want to be 25 again.
25 to 35 was the best time of my life. I’d do it again.
My sweet summer child. It just gets worse
I really disagree with this. Except the child part, 25 year olds are basically children whose brains have just finished maturing
