Turned 40 this past week. Was just bemoaning that most of my company don’t get the :holdontoyourbutts: Samuel L Jackson emoji in slack and now this.
It’s been going down hill since I turned 25. I’m just closer to the end of the ride now.
I’ve already got the Sunday blues. And I don’t have the money to cope with a midlife crisis.
Thanks.
We all age and die. What matters is what we do with our lives.
I’m fine with dying, eventually. It’s aging I don’t want to go through.
I’m pretty sure it’s the dying you dont want to go through, unless it’s rather quick.
I typed up a complete rant about how i wasted away so much time to work, trying to obtain an income that’s capable of getting me a house.
But now is the time to focus on what IS positive at the moment, like how i’m still happily together with the wife.
If i let the negavtives of the past take control, i’ll just stumble down a deep hole again and i don’t want that.
I used part of my life to read this comment, then write a response to it, and I’m not happy about it.
I used it to make a meme.
The alternative is worse you know.
Maybe I should have a child or buy a house by 40. Idk.
If you say so
oh god oh fuck
Did an AI try to recreate this image?
I think you’re right. Aside from screenshots showing it looks wrong, here’s the actual scene: https://youtu.be/yZszK_M_9_Y
It’s not there, unless I’m missing it.
A couple of comments are suggesting that, but I remember this scene and just assumed it was a weird still from the movie.
I’m confused why someone would’ve recreated it, or modified part of it with AI, but it’s possible.
Turned 40 last month and to be honest I’m kinda struggling with depression right now
This is going to sound stupid, but during college, I took a lot of different types of math and history classes.
As humans, we invented years, and ages. Then we made milestones for what they represented. We said, there are 7 days in the week. We said, there are 52 weeks in a year. Some other BS happen and then culturally we said things like by age 30, you should be married. By age 40, you should have a family.
But imagine if we actually made a week 10 days? Or there’s 30 weeks in a year? Suddenly, this is all BS numbers. Back to culturally, why is 30 a specific number? Or 40? Or any of these numbers?
For me, 40 is just a made-up number. It means nothing. The expectations around the number, bullshit. My friend is 55, and we went bar hopping. I hung out with a 70 and played Frisbee. I pitched go-karts and dressing up like Mario Kart to my 60yo neighbors.
Just made up numbers.
Of course, don’t get weird and and try to shoehorn underage relationships. That’s not the intent here.
At 38, 2 walks a day is helping, but I’m bouncing between anxiety and depressive symptoms. It beats drinking or meds!
Working out is also helping, but not as much as the sunshine. Good luck, fellow old fart :).
You age a day everyday, how you choose to group those ~14600 is up to you.
Have you considered eating an entire large pizza and drinking a case of beer about it?
That just sounds like a Tuesday
Time for a mid life crisis then
Wish I could afford a midlife crisis
You can always pick up excessive running, just because you get a midlife crisis doesn’t mean it has to involve a Porsche.
I’m ready.
Shut up
Doesn’t scare me, cancer does.
Fuck you OP. I still have 2.5 years. Don’t remind me
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
As someone who died at 28, spent six months in ICU fighting my way, I’m SO excited for 40! Growing old is a privilege, not everyone gets to
I doubt you’ll live to be 40!, but good luck all the same.
Yeah I never expected to even reach thirty with my self-destructing body and ever worsening mental health. Every year towards fourty is quite the achievement
That’s how I’m trying to see it… age is a gift not everyone gets
Born in 1989. Whenever an older person says, “never get old!” I always say, “it’s better than the alternative!”
Well la dee da lease on life, some of us have joint problems and it’s going to get worse
joint problems?
