    I loved my 30's. Started having weird health issues in my 50's, and sometimes feel like a zombie in my 60's. Getting old is not for pussies!

    Hope I didn't offend anyone with the old saying, " Getting old is not for pussies." It often refers to the strange new pains or body problems you wake up with out of nowhere. And every other weird thing experienced as you age. Please enjoy the 30's, it can be the best time of your life.

    I wasted too much money on drinking alcohol. Where I live(neighborhood), everybody sees me as the drunkard.

    Sometime ago, I even drank, got very drunk and lied on car road. Police punched me in the face that day.

    The effects of many bad habits may not show up until much later in life. Many a smoker started in their teens and had no ill effects until they were in their 40's or much later.

    You're not middle-aged until you get to about 45.

    These days, I am drinking too much coke to fill my stomach with too much liquid in order to leave no place in it for alcohol. The last time I drank was 11 days ago. I am forcing myself not to drink alcohol but I cannot keep my mind of alcohol. Alcohol is still on my mind.

    I know the feeling. I still crave opiods sometimes. Hang in there. You know the drill.

    when 60 was life expectancy for humans, that made 30 about the middle.
    but now we can reasonably expect to live well past the mid 70s, even into the late 80s and beyond.
    but it seems like most of my experience of living and exploring was before i was 30.
    now of course, i've lived 42 years beyond that to 72. i'm still curious about advances and changes i might live to see.
    mileposts in space exploration and infrastructure development, and hopefully people learning what is important that makes their world how it is for them to experience,
    and the includes engineering infrastructure to be less harmful to environment while serving everyone regardless of social or economic status, or age or disability either for that matter.
    so really my concern is not so much with age itself, but what i might be able to live to see, and what kind of a world i will have to live in to live to see it.

    i turned 30 two years before 1980, and when i was born in 1948, 1984 was going to be either the end of the world, or the dawn of star trek, or maybe both.
    so its been gratifying to live well past both. and 1977 was the first year an ordinary person with an ordinary income could afford to buy in a store, a ready to run computer,
    they could take home and plug in and it would work, without having to build it from a kit or be rich enough to afford what had up until them been what was available.
    and that was the year 1977 that i was 29.

    the 80s for me was science fiction conventions and that was when i was in my 30s.

    the 90s i was married in my 40s, and the rest has been looking back ever since,
    except for now being able to live by myself and play making things and including my idea of how i'd like a world to live in to be.

    I have no life expectancy. Die as early as possible.

    The fact that you can say that out loud, tells me you can live it another way. Please just think about it.

    a blank is not a negative. the universe would not end in hubris if we stopped creating reasons to complain about it.
    and we do each have that capacity, even if only in ourselves.
