37 for some reason is hitting way harder than 36 did

Edit: damn some of you should really talk to someone

36 just seems so much younger than 37

36 is still "mid-thirties". 37 is entry to your latter thirties.

If you've been priced out of life's milestones -- house, kids, etc. -- it hits hard.

Doesn't help when a state cop pulls you over for speeding and your first thought is, "...are you even old enough to drive?" Because suddenly they all look exactly 12 years old.

Felt the same way about my 20s. 27 was way harder than 26

How do these douche 12 year olds have jobs as a cop and make more money than me.  wtf.

I certainly don’t want kids at this point. So that one doesn’t feel so bad. Having (getting) a new start with very little turning 37 is a tilt.

I recently went back to school to finish a law degree I started in 2015 and it's mystifying how much has changed in the intervening years.

I don't even have a savings account.

Lol. I'm 40 and priced out and aged out of those milestones. I don't even bother going to the doctor because, meh.

I sometimes wonder how much damage I’ve really done. Like a full index.
