Yeah I thought thirty was old when I was in high school. Adults of a given age have been getting healthier and healthier my entire life. Being childless in my early thirties is also a blessing. But come on. I had time and no money at twenty one. Now I have money and wisdom. And still healthy. Probably healthier than I was at 21.
Sure lots of people in their twenties are still poorly and may be unhealthy but there's no magic age where life is over.
I'm older than you and still having a blast. I had a blast in my 20s, definitely moreso in the latter half of the 20s too. Being a teenager alternated between joy and misery too often due to hormonal disarray.
At this point I'm generally more content in life than I've ever been before.
I was healthier in my early twenties because I actually had time to workout tbh. I need to make the time to start doing it regularly again...
God, it’s easy to overlook how true this is. Looking at pictures of my parents and grandparents at my age is shocking. Less lead, asbestos, and cigarettes in your diet is good for you I guess. People drink alcohol less and wear more sunscreen too, which surely helps.
