Just want every young person terrified of becoming older than 23-25 to know that I'm currently 32 and my 20s were fucking miserable and while life isn't wholly perfect right now I wouldn't trade my 30s for my 20s for the LIFE of me. The idea feels as ridiculous as trading my 20s for being in high school. FUCK no. And I'm sure at 42 I'll feel similarly to my 30s and so on and so forth. Embrace the passage of time and be grateful that you get the privilege of growing old, bitch. Life's sooooo much better past your mid 20s.
Heyo. Ancient crone of the tumblr set here. I’m here to advise that each successive decade is better than the last. You learn so much about yourself and what makes you content. You get to choose which parts of your past you bring with you into the future.
Don’t fear aging. It’s the best thing that’s happened to me.
