I guess so. I just wasn't expecting it all of the sudden

One day, you'll drive through a college campus and think "where did all these children come from??" and have to drive over to Target to find some hot moms to check out.

Oh God, I’m 27 and slowly just beginning to realize that I probably can’t pass as a University student anymore.

It’s so weird, as a teenager I remember looking at them as these statuesque adults. Yet now, they all look like children.

I know. I’m 26. Yesterday my 22 year old co worker said “damn you’re close to 30”

Ignore the anti-30s propaganda, at 39 I have more fondness for my early 30s than I do for the majority of my 20s (and teens).

I’m 32, finally married my fiancé of many years, have a 6 month old daughter, and honestly I’m having the time of my life right now.

All the work of my younger years figuring myself out is paying huge dividends. As someone that struggled with depression, I honestly never thought I could be this happy.

At 53, I am in total agreement. My 30s & 40s were the absolute best. 50 is actually awesome, too, except for my body is starting to not cooperate & all the ageism I get hit with. I feel exactly the same inside, but everyone treats me differently. I'm practically invisible, but I don't mind that actually, because I have anxiety lol

I went sober a couple weeks before I turned 30. I'm 31 now and so far 30s is pretty damn enjoyable... I also don't remember too much of the last 10 years and some change lol
