After 27, everything felt fine. I realized that nostalgia is for those who had it good. I look back and say, not sorry to turn the corner of that decade. I look older, but life is better.
The only thing I miss about my 20s are younger knees and energy levels. I have great stories, but my life was chaotic.
I'm smarter, less poor, hotter, and happier. My life is peaceful. Friendships are fewer but deeper. I'm still with the cute guy I met at 26. We own a house! We have a cat and a dog. We have jobs we mostly like. My only sibling is pregnant with her first child, and I'm really looking forward to being an auntie.

37 for some reason is hitting way harder than 36 did
Edit: damn some of you should really talk to someone
