    Today is worse than yesterday. But at least it’s better than tomorrow!

    In seriousness, though, your 30s will be considerably less garbage than your 20s. Stuff on your body is gonna begin hurting more, and that’s dumb, but you’ll generally have fewer hangups about things and life’s day-to-day gets more enjoyable.

    The world is a flaming hellscape, but not every individual moment has to suck. I figured that out in my 30s 🙃

      In your thirties is the first time you realize you have to do things to maintain your body.

      Watch your calories.

      Really look after your teeth.

      Exercise and think about posture to stay pain free.

      Sleep to maintain mood and energy.

      Hydrate to keep skin looking healthy and energy and lots of things.

      • Cosign on the teeth thing. I’ve always been mindful of dental care because I’m afraid of the dentist and want to minimize visits. My wife is less vigilant than I am. She easily accounts for 75% of our combined dental expenses.

    This hurts me so badly… :( I’ve lost all of my 20s to depression, extreme social isolation and emptiness. My 30th birthday was last month, and I wonder is there’s something to be recovered from me

    • I spent a solid chunk of my 20s being an alcoholic in a desperate attempt to hide from myself. Late 20s (like 28-29) I finally moved to the right place, put in an exhausting amount of work into finding local connections, I’m doing a lot better now. Eat healthy, do some kind of physical activity if you can, see if there are any groups near you that share in any of your interests, don’t expect it to be solved right away it takes time. Enjoy being at the early side of old people “I just truly don’t give a fuck” mentality because that can carry you past a lot of social anxiety. 16 yr old at the MTG table says you have a garbage deck? IDGAF, give them a “I’m old enough to fuck your mom” glare through your beginners crows feet. Bond with the people who think that kid is a dipshit. Being in my 30s now is way better than my 20s I’m happier and healthier (save for COVID giving me fucking asthma never used to need an inhaler)

          I thought I was gonna die when I looked down the hill and let go of the plank. The jump itself was actually way more controlled then I expected, but I also didn’t fly that long obv ;) was able to try two different hills, but not the biggest one.

          Fun fact: Most people in the group were 40+ years old and they were flying like crazy haha

      Same. I’m 3 years younger, but depression, anxiety, and the resulting lack of any kind of sense of mission have made me so miserable. The lockdowns tore down the resemblance of a social network I had, and now it feels like there’s nothing left. I’m trying to get better and to change, turn my life around, but it’s hard. I don’t have any encouraging words. Just know that you’re not alone in feeling like that <3
