My brain is about twenty years behind my actual age so it’s been physical things like my hair disappearing, my back hurting, gums receding, etc that show me I’m older.
All the big milestone birthdays have been notable because I don’t care about them. I didn’t feel like I expected to feel at 30 or 40 or 50. (there isn’t a maximum age on this app, I hope!)

30, 40, 50 — they’re nothing like how they looked when I was a kid!
Part of this I attribute to the Internet and feeling much more aware of or connected to the younger worlds than I otherwise would be. Plus I have no kids and few responsibilities.
I remember when my dad turned 40 and we had a party for him being “Over the Hill” with black balloons and stuff lol

I’m very excited about it and it just feels right. I think women start reaching their peak hotness at age 40 and then continue to age like fine wine so I’m looking forward to that too. My plan is to start seriously attempting to grow up in some ways but we’ll see how that goes; I’m probably just going to extend my adolescence in other ways because I have the freedom to do that. Mostly I just keep thinking about how when I was a kid who were 30 seemed so OLD but to be fair it’s not my fault they were like balding. Or like I keep seeing that people I know from high school are parents or watching things and being shocked that the mom characters are my age 🤡 but I don’t know it honestly feels pretty meaningless and arbitrary to me to mark and judge my life using age as a measurement

When I was 25 I felt so old, like oh god a quarter of a century!!!! Then me at 28 looking back at 25 y/o me I though oh god she was a baby! So now I realise I’m going to keep getting older so the age I am is the youngest I’ll be moving forward.
I’m now 33 and I feel the same as I’ve felt my whole life. All these years have only made me more experienced at life. Youth is overrated if you take care of yourself. Stop smoking, move more, eat better, manage stress, use sunscreen and tretinoin.
