You know how, back when you were in high school, you’d occasionally see middle schoolers and think “We weren’t that small, were we?”
That basically keeps going your whole life, but the categories get more stretched out the older you get. 30 and 40 year olds start complaining, “Oooh, I’m so old, everything hurts!” and it’s like, dude, you’re barely half way there.
Yes I temper everything going on with my early 30s self with ‘the future is yes, but worse!’. Though I do seriously intend on turning some of my fitness around this decade, so I might at least be fitter and more comfortable than my late 20s, illness/etc permitting. Generally, 30s is when the olds starts being a legitimate topic… but only that, and 40s is when you start-to-get old but arguably aren’t…reallyyy.
