Thanks Batty, that's legitimately good advice, particularly slowing down and appreciating the world around you. I wouldn't say I'm having a crisis or anything, just reflections.

Did you have fun? Then the time wasn't wasted.

Do not gaze upon me, I'm hideous.

I don't want to worry about counting my breaths yet!

Tired of lying in the sunshine,
Staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long,
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun

And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

It really helps knowing that life is pretty much meaningless in a cosmic sense. The real important thing ismaking the people you care about happy and loved so that maybe, just maybe, your treatment of them will in turn make them treat somebody else with kindess and love. This is purely reserved for the people you like. The people who suck can eat a foot.

We're all just dirt in the end.

Agree. Being in your 30s is just confirming all your fears from your 20s regarding the meaningless of adulthood and belonging.

1 you don't. Your youth is wasted and you will never ever ever get it back and time is still escaping. And in my case my 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, until I die is more than likely going to be wasted in the same exact way as my 20s.

I keep telling myself "30 is the new 20"

My 30s were and still are amazing and I really feel like I've found myself and my place in life. Obviously everything is still meaningless in the grand scheme as well as fickle and fleeting but I enjoy the **** out of it.
