It gets even better in your 30s. Sure, youth is nice, having energy to do things is great. But I can feel the difference in myself after my brain finally hit full maturity in my mid-upper 20s. I hear my younger coworkers talking about their dramatic social lives and inside I’m grateful that I’ve already “been there, done that.” If I meet someone my age who’s still surrounded by drama, I know they’re part of the issue and probably won’t change, because most of us left that crap behind as we learned how to process our feelings and communicate more effectively.
Aging isn’t exciting, but it’s definitely more peaceful than youth. (Unless/until kids come along, that is. Then it becomes our turn to help them manage their wild emotions.)
Im so lucky that I hit rock bottom at 17. I dont have any memories of “oh, what I used to be able to do” in highschool
Totally. Life only got better for me in my twenties, onward, because I hit rock bottom from 17 to 19.

Yeah, school was shite … I think I peaked at about 33 and made the most of that time in my life
