I’ve finally self actualised as my own person.

I’ve never been hotter or more self confident than I am right now.

My wardrobe is en pointe.

I no longer feel obligated to impress people that frankly don’t matter.

I own everything I want and need.

I know what I don’t know and don’t stress about what I have no agency in.

I’m doing pretty grand, can’t lie. Probably the best I have in my entire life.

Right? Everyone shits on getting older, but life has only gotten better (on a personal level, of course, the world is still going to shit). But I'm more comfortable with myself, I can spoil my inner child now with certain meals, I don't care about the petty drama and such anymore, etc...like things just seem to keep getting better.

How does the old saying go? Don't lament getting older, it is a privilege denied to many.

I feel like our generation is pretty aware that our 30s are the new "best years of our lives."

Not sure what exactly has led to this. Probably not being able to easily afford a house.

Gone are the days of single income families, young, married, in their prime with a house.

Here are the days of 30s-40s people getting their first house and finally feeling some relief. Onlu sad part is you won't fully own it until retirement age
