good stability
shitty everything else
I feel like my life is already over and having to sit through five more decades of Earth is just my punishment for fucking up and never finding anyone.

i'm 34 years old. the biggest let down is that you just don't feel anything anymore like you used to. when i talk to guys in their 20s, everything is so intense and real to them. they're like "this happened to me and that sucked but then this other thing happened and it was alright for a while but then..." the anger is so much more intense.
when you are in your mid-30s, there are no more delusions that you could change your life around. remember in high school how everyone told you and all the others about your "potential"? guess how many times you hear about your "potential" when you're in your 30s... that's right: never.
all these dreams you had as a teenager and 20-something are dead. you will never achieve what you thought you would and the fact that you are in your mid-30s with no progress proves that. it was just a stupid dream and now you don't even have that anymore.

Can't relate to that part desu. I'm way more pissed off now, on a much broader scope, than I ever was in my 20s.

That can also be a motivating factor though. All throughout my 20s my social worker kept asking me to take a high school equivalency, and I never did it. Then I got a new social worker in my thirties, and my new one, who only handled thirty-and-ups, said she wouldn't allow me to take one. I didn't like the sound of the closing door, so I got a stipend and a part-time job to replace the welfare, did the equivalency program, and next semester I'll be attending a university at 37. I wish I'd gotten this motivated a decade ago, but it's not like it's going to be any easier if I wait another ten years.

the worst part about your 30s is you lose all the energy you used to have. in your 20s you can bounce off the walls, work 20 hours a day, ehh hey whatever, in your 30 s its yea, 8 hours and ok im good, lets wrap it up. those people in their 20s just see that energy as a normal thing, til its gone
the other thing that sucks about 30s , for me anyways, is all my relatives seemed to drop like flies. All my older relatives i was cool with all passed away in pretty quick succession.
when you re young, or when We were young there was the idea that anyone could go off and do anything. Now , they are in the places that they are stuck in for the rest of their lives. No one is going far barring a big lotto win or something. thats going to go out the window soon though as AI takes over everything. Young People who might of been seen as "WOW you will be great at ______" now will be like hehe 50 years ago you could of been a great so and so as a career, yea then it got automated. this is the decade everyone gets turned into a mediocrity . the 2030s will be the decade everyone becomes usueless
