Rec'd on 🧓 Perspective on Turning 30
It’s coming up for me this year
I’m very excited about it and it just feels right. I think women start reaching their peak hotness at age 40 and then continue to age like fine wine so I’m looking forward to that too. My plan is to start seriously attempting to grow up in some ways but we’ll see how that goes; I’m probably just going to extend my adolescence in other ways because I have the freedom to do that. Mostly I just keep thinking about how when I was a kid who were 30 seemed so OLD but to be fair it’s not my fault they were like balding. Or like I keep seeing that people I know from high school are parents or watching things and being shocked that the mom characters are my age 🤡 but I don’t know it honestly feels pretty meaningless and arbitrary to me to mark and judge my life using age as a measurement

this is why i’ve been looking into books and anime featuring middle aged women (as main characters) because they exist and it’s lovely

I’m really not ready to join the mid-20s club this year 😖 I really hope aging becomes sexy for everyone so I can stop feeling like my value will decline as a femme person as I age 🥲

Turning 40 in 10 years
In other words, being 30. Feels good to be a grown up.

No age has been what i imagined it would be when i was young
30, 40, 50 — they’re nothing like how they looked when I was a kid!
Part of this I attribute to the Internet and feeling much more aware of or connected to the younger worlds than I otherwise would be. Plus I have no kids and few responsibilities.
I remember when my dad turned 40 and we had a party for him being “Over the Hill” with black balloons and stuff lol

ENDING SENTENCES WITH ELLIPSES LIKE A BOOMER
It lends a reflective and wistful tone to written communications imo…

Never changing
My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
