The world needs young people and we’re currently running low - a well documented downward trajectory.
I’m childless and I’m trying to invest in relationships with my friends’ children—though there’s not many of them either—so that maybe, hopefully, someone thinks to look out for me when I can’t do it for myself. It‘s also just genuinely rewarding. Actually…at 36, I think most people on this app are younger than I. SUPPPP
i’m almost 23 and tbh i feel younger now than i did when i was 20-21. it’s def a weird feeling to have like what the kids are up to not really include me anymore but i feel like as i get older i don’t care as much. also i think at this point i’m much more surrounded by people who are my age or older than me instead of my age or younger like i was when i was in high school or college, and i realize just how much of my life (and my YOUNG life) i have ahead of me. i think it’s much cooler to be a little bit out of the loop or a little cringe but have a stronger sense of self than to be completely tapped in but be 15 lol.
As a young person.
People in their 30s are so Normal and Locked In and they can just talk comfortably, plus they have life experience to share. I‘m looking forward to being that age.
(22) and I kinda trend older appearance and personality wise.. I have more muscle now than I've ever had and if I could commit to running again I would officially be in the best shape of my life lol. I know 22 is far too young for the body to begin breaking down but some people I went to high school with would prove otherwise.. I like to think you don't lose things to age but to time,, both mentally and physically.. I absolutely do not relate to the youth and find it really funny just how much they look like children to me even though I was that age a few years ago. At some point maybe around 20 I recall noticing a switch had flipped and suddenly high schoolers looked like small children to me. I kinda struggle to relate to people my age even, which I think comes from doing things alone for as long as I have been. So no I don't *feel* old but I call myself old in an ironic way. I'm not out of touch, it's the children who're wrong..
I’m not a company girl by any means, but I’m also not about burning professional bridges. Go out gracefully. Even if the job is eating you alive and potentially a corrupt shit hole, show them what kind of excellent human they'll be missing on your way out the door. Then run for your life. It’s totally worth it.
