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.)
Totally. Life only got better for me in my twenties, onward, because I hit rock bottom from 17 to 19.
