Is life over at 30?

Thinking 95 meant your birth year
I know, I know. I use the same username all across the world online. My username HERE even used to be much different so when I changed it I hung on to the 95 for clarity purposes. The 95 is simply the year that our hockey team came to Colorado hahaha It is often mistaken for my birth year, I'm sure. I'm old though! I've got you by more than a decade.

What's so special about the number 30?
I don't think it's the number... it's the time period. And it wasn't a magical change that happened at 30 for me, it was a little earlier than that but who the hell wanted to explain that to him? And now you've got me doin it! People just have various time periods of life and just like they go through the high school time or college years or whatever the 30's are a pretty damn good time. And I think the 30's are unlike the 20's. You don't care about what people think as much as when you were in your 20's and you're done trying to "find yourself" as much anymore. You're more relaxed. You're more easygoing. And then at 40? It's even better cause I have no filter anymore and I don't give a fk what anyone says or thinks. I do what I want, I say what I want, I go where I want. If I get fired tomorrow then so be it! If I get divorced tomorrow then that was in the cards. I'll find a replacement. It's just how the world is.

Find a replacement... you're so romantic <3 ;)

I am in my mid to late 30s which makes go "eww" when I write it but I can tell you this, life is considerably better now than it was in my mid to late 20s. I have some hope that life in my 40s will be even better (and that life in my 50s will be even better than that - etc.)

I screwed shit up in an unbelievably spectacular fashion at the end of my 20s. It's taken me 6 years to "fix" it. It's still not totally fixed but its better. Life definitely does not end at 30, even if you blow it up completely and end up jobless, penniless, friendless and homeless on your 30th birthday as I was.

I'm not shopping for a replacement but if she were to leave me? I wouldn't be on here talking about how I want to die because of it, that's for sure. Whereas in my 20's... well, that did happen... and that did happen. lol It was bad.

...even if you blow it up completely and end up jobless, penniless, friendless and homeless on your 30th birthday as I was.
THAT must be a story there.

and that life in my 50s will be even better than that
And here we part ways. I'm not looking forward to 50. Not even a little.

I've never even had a boyfriend and the ones that did like me were too shy to happen to me. If most men are too shy then there's probably no hope. And the ones who do talk to me I have nothing in common with them. I don't really have any money because I'm on SSI. My family never helps me with anything so I doubt anything will change. They stereotype me because I've had surgery. And a lot of men stereotype me as well, if I don't look a certain way or act stupid and shallow they usually don't want to talk to me. I mean the better-looking ones tend to not want to talk to me, but I don't even care about looks as long as they are kind and we have something in common. But I think it's annoying when people concentrate on looks all the time.

I wouldn't want to depress anyone but I can't lie. I think it is, at least in my case
I use to think as you do, but then realized I was wrong. Life only just begun. I am almost 40 now but I am going to make the best out of the rest of my thirties into my fourties. I'm just done with putting mysef down when it's not my fault. Love and treat yourself better, cause noone else would and this world is just filled to the brim with complete assholes

Sorry that you are in this boat. I have bad skin so I know what it feel like to be judged on looks. *hug

I wish I was still in my 30s. My early thirties seemed bad but then everything started to go very well. Sadly its really crashed again now in my fifties, and I'm not sure if I can recover this time, but you have time on your side.
Right here with you teeboy. I'm 53. I really wish I'd known in my 30s what I know now. I've had some big revelations very recently but at least I still have time (and health - knock wood) to act on them.

p.s. I've screwed up on here any number of times but I don't think I've driven anyone to suicide. One guy did say that I (along with a few others) made him feel worse but that's only because we disagreed with certain opinions he kept stating. Also certain topics really upset me (child porn, animal abuse) so it's probably best to avoid those for me.

Turned 34 early July.

I think the only real benefit of my thirties has been a quicking of catching on to my own bullshit and a bit of mellowing out

I'm still a big ball of crazy but there are way more "even" days then chaotic ones.
