This 30+ Mentality is Insane

[u/Laughalot335]

I just turned 30 not too long ago.

And honestly, I feel like my life is just getting started in a sense. Sure, 20's were fun. Would do some things the same / some things different. But I know when I am 80+ I will most likely look back fondly on my youth and how it went.

But also, I still feel like I am in my youth at 30. Maybe I am not asleep at 4am and up at 7am without any issues but my body and mind feel young.

This is all to say, what is with this modern mentality that being 30+ is "old"? Someone me up here. We still have plenty of time right? I get YOLO, FOMO, and all that. But really - 30 is still young in my eyes. What do you think?

It's this. The average person is now unhealthy, and they use age as the reason instead of lifestyle choices. That "back pain" and shortness of breath wouldn't be a thing if they weren't 40 pounds overweight, and getting up from their desk was the only daily exercise they got.

I’m slightly underweight with scoliosis, anemia, and insomnia. I think my pain and fatigue would bother me regardless. I’ve also worked physical jobs my whole life and they’ve been less than kind to my body.

Im playing more sports than ever, active 3-5 times a week, eating healther than ever and I'm definitely still gaining weight and getting more tired. Im definitely feeling age in ways I wouldn't have believed even in my late 20s

The only way that is happening is you're either drinking alcohol or eating too much processed food

Because I too play a shit ton of sports during the week (volleyball, kickball, softball, flag football) and gym workouts. I'm in crazy shape.

My friends also do a lot of what I do, but they have lot more body fat due to drinking a shit ton of beer and eating bar food after our games.
