33 and looking forward to my 40s tbh

😅 negative/reality toomato/toemato*

If you went through your 20s, got to your early 30s and STILL consider 32 to be “old lady” than that’s on you. Someone can be youthful at 42. Someone can be old and boring at 32. It was always been entirely up to you.

It’s more about being youthful. I can feel it in my body and my face.

38 and life just gets better!

It really does. I am much less petty and much more curious than I was in my 20s.

Nah, you're fine. My sister gave birth to a perfectly healthy young boy almost 6 years ago at the age of 39, if child birth is a concern. If it isn't, even better. Take care of yourself, fitness-wise, and just live your life to the fullest. My best friend is a biochemist, she's 37, and she's been single for the past 3 years, and loving it. Age is just a number as long as you keep in shape, healthy, and are happy with your life.

When I was a kid, I thought 22 or 23 was a great age to have a kid. You know, because I’d have it all figured out by then.

I don’t know that I’ll feel like an old lady until 80yo … even then some of my relatives/their friends are in their late 90s still doing well, healthy, and mentally clear. A life span is much longer these days.

What should I take

Lol. When I turned 25 I felt the same way. Then this horrid woman said to me “just think —gravity”. So each year passes and gravity hasn’t bummed me out yet so I feel better about turning “older” still instead of scared.

You are not old!

I think I may have made a huge mistake today. My skip level director sent out an email about something and asked us for feedback. I sent back a note and provided some. One of the things I said was that our job satisfaction might be improved if we could do more of X kind of work instead of Y kind of work that we do so much of in our group. The next thing I know, I get a ping from his EA to set up time for me to chat with him and my director tomorrow. I am getting in trouble tomorrow, right?

LinkedIn is a garbage app where I can’t even post my opinion or experience because it will go against the mainstream ideologies. If I even “like” a post then I worry that my peers and managers see what I like and suddenly I need inclusivity training. What a load of shit! You can’t be who you truly are on that app. Which is why I like fishbowl so much, the anonymity is a game changer. If LinkedIn was a anonymous, we’d see a lot more support for Kanye and a lot less LGBQT material. Bet!
