Turning 35 this year

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

I dreamed how great I could achieve, but found out I am an ordinary person and it’s hard to manage my life. Now I admit how mediocre I am.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Shh! Quiet everyone!

...

I can almost make out the words...

Turned 40 this past week. Was just bemoaning that most of my company don't get the :holdontoyourbutts: Samuel L Jackson emoji in slack and now this.

It's been going down hill since I turned 25. I'm just closer to the end of the ride now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I’ve already got the Sunday blues. And I don’t have the money to cope with a midlife crisis.

Thanks.

Maybe I should have a child or buy a house by 40. Idk.

We all age and die. What matters is what we do with our lives.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I'm fine with dying, eventually. It's aging I don't want to go through.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You find different things in the different decades of life, or so is my experience.

Brush your teeth and don't burn yourself out at work is my recommendations, cheers!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Me, after a horrific 20s: "Alright, the 30s are gonna be my decade!

... please... they have to be..."

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

I’m pretty sure it’s the dying you dont want to go through, unless it’s rather quick.

I typed up a complete rant about how i wasted away so much time to work, trying to obtain an income that's capable of getting me a house.

But now is the time to focus on what IS positive at the moment, like how i'm still happily together with the wife.

If i let the negavtives of the past take control, i'll just stumble down a deep hole again and i don't want that.

I used part of my life to read this comment, then write a response to it, and I'm not happy about it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I used it to make a meme.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

The alternative is worse you know.

Did an AI try to recreate this image?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

I think you're right. Aside from screenshots showing it looks wrong, here's the actual scene: https://youtu.be/yZszK_M_9_Y

It's not there, unless I'm missing it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

A couple of comments are suggesting that, but I remember this scene and just assumed it was a weird still from the movie.

I'm confused why someone would've recreated it, or modified part of it with AI, but it's possible.

Turned 40 last month and to be honest I'm kinda struggling with depression right now

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is going to sound stupid, but during college, I took a lot of different types of math and history classes.

As humans, we invented years, and ages. Then we made milestones for what they represented. We said, there are 7 days in the week. We said, there are 52 weeks in a year. Some other BS happen and then culturally we said things like by age 30, you should be married. By age 40, you should have a family.

But imagine if we actually made a week 10 days? Or there's 30 weeks in a year? Suddenly, this is all BS numbers. Back to culturally, why is 30 a specific number? Or 40? Or any of these numbers?

For me, 40 is just a made-up number. It means nothing. The expectations around the number, bullshit. My friend is 55, and we went bar hopping. I hung out with a 70 and played Frisbee. I pitched go-karts and dressing up like Mario Kart to my 60yo neighbors.

Just made up numbers.

Of course, don't get weird and and try to shoehorn underage relationships. That's not the intent here.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Sure, to an individual, the milestones seem stupid but they're the common milestones the average reach. Most people by 30 are married. Most by 40 have an established career and family. But to agree, who cares? We have one life and there's plenty of worry's to go around, so don't add keeping up with the Jones to the list.

At 38, 2 walks a day is helping, but I'm bouncing between anxiety and depressive symptoms. It beats drinking or meds!

Working out is also helping, but not as much as the sunshine. Good luck, fellow old fart :).

You age a day everyday, how you choose to group those ~14600 is up to you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Have you considered eating an entire large pizza and drinking a case of beer about it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

That just sounds like a Tuesday

Time for a mid life crisis then

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wish I could afford a midlife crisis

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

You can always pick up excessive running, just because you get a midlife crisis doesn't mean it has to involve a Porsche.
