It is, same with 40, 50 or 60. There are people that want nothing more than watch TV at 30, there are people at 60 doing Ironman.

This. Eat right and get your ass in the gym. I feel just as good (if not better) today than at 25.

What is it with 30 yr olds feeling old? Y'all built different/worse.

Anyone who's in their mid-forties and doesn't suffer with some sort of physical or mental ailment... didn't have enough fun in their youth.

A worthy trade.

I spent my teen years skateboarding. I have no aches or pains. I do however require more sleep now, at least 6 hrs a night.

Never complain about your age because there are people that never get that old.

I spent my early teens playing computer games on my 386 and my mid/late teens playing basketball (even got to varsity). Injured both ankles

Or, put another way… never be mad or upset about getting old, because it’s a hell of a lot better than the only alternative.

Those of you still physically healthy, I hope you continue to be and really appreciate it. Take care of what you have. I was in an accident 2 years ago and have been in hell since. Try to take care of yourself the best that you can, because the medical system is completely broken in the west. I hope none of you have to rely on it for anything.

I'm doing my best to get through each day, but I miss my active life I had before. I struggle with basic tasks now. Skateboarding, competitive tennis, basketball, hiking, walking... I miss them all so very much. Be good to yourselves and those around you. You never know how long things will last.

I miss getting super-excited about things - games, movies, trips... laughing when watching comedies... nowadays, I can only experience these feelings when using psychedelics.

Workout. Get enough sleep. Drink water. Don't eat a bunch of garbage. Quit booze and you'll be surprised how good you can feel even if the rest of your life is sub-optimal. I'm 41 and my body is easily better than it was ten years ago. Which is kind of sad in one way but that's how it works out sometimes. It's never too late to take care of yourself.

Put the fucking phone down too. That's one I'm working on now. We all spend way too much time on our phones.

I woke up feeling like garbage on friday, told work I wasn't working, slept it off until 2pm, didn't feel like dog anymore, but my back has been thrown since

Man the downhill post 30 is fierce lol. I am physically stronger than ever, but recovery time and random injuries are definitely going up.

I feel that. I've wondered sometimes if not really being excited about a big new game launch announcement or a TV show everyone else is saying is amazing but for me it's just shovelware that's ok to watch as junk food but not that gripping is a me thing, or just a getting older thing. It was the PS3/360 era which was the last time things really felt that exciting for me.
