Technically I shouldn't post here because I'm 26.I'm not sure I'll be very different when I'm thirty though - or at least, I feel I can see where I'm headed. I intend to get fatter, happier, and better with money. And wear slippers. And learn more about cooking.
To be honest, all that's happened to me as I've gotten older is that I give less of a fuck about what other people think of me and what passes for cool in popular culture, and I'm less enraged by everything. Nowadays I know what I like and what I believe in as much as I'd ever like to - if I became more set in my ways I think it would be a negative. I'm still angry with the world as I have been since I was thirteen, but I don't expect that to ever go away, as it's a fucked up place. I think my anger and cynicism is much more focused than it was four or five years ago though, and I try and pick my battles more prudently. I also think I've become much better at forgiving people, and recognising and appreciating sincerity.
Gotta say though, I still have another four years to go until I can join your club, but I'm not so sure I want in. I've met and learnt from many interesting people and count many people as friends between the ages of 18 - 50. Young people are idiots sometimes, but then I've known plenty of 30+ people be total dicks. May I refer you to this thread?
It's not too hard to go easy on people because they're young and foolish, is it? I mean, I was a total twat when I was 16. I try and bear that in mind when talking to 16 year olds now. I hope that when I'm 30, I'll not only be happily attached and have started/be thinking about a family, but I'll also be capable of not being totally cynical/dismissive of youth and their follies.
Post if you re over 30 thread
