Why do people hit 30 and get all depressing n shyt?

[Micky Mikey]

For my folks 30 and above do you notice how the peers you came up with are just shadows of their younger selves now? I recently met up with some old friends from college and left feeling depressed as fukk.

Half of them were either borderline alcoholic, unhappily married with kids, and/or on a track to becoming obese with their eating habits.

What is it about turning 30 that makes people become souless hallowed out shells? Its ridiculous I am seeing so many of my peers looking stressed the fukk out and no longer on top of their game.

All the dreams they had.GONE.
All the charisma they once had. GONE.
Keeping up with their physical appearence. GONE.
Their hairlines. GONE.

Is life really that hard out here? I've had my fair share of trials and tribulations but I am doing better than I've ever done. It makes be feel bad and to be honest sad that life hasn't been as rewarding for some of my old friends.

You already named the reasons.

It all has to do with where they're at in their lives, monetarily and professionally. Marriageability and dateability status included.

Bills & responsibility?

The devil always comes for his due.

The key to living past your 20s is not to peak in your 20s.

Your 30s is mostly paying for the wages on sins committed in your 20s.

The people who are depressed in their 30’s are the ones who’ve come to realize you can’t party and bullshyt your life away like you thought you could in your 20’s

LIFE HIT DIFFERENT AROUND 30.

It just feels more real and the stakes are higher.

My only issues are....I want to get back to my 2015 body and weight. I want a house and I lowkey want a son.

But I'm happy in my 30s and I was happy in my 20s

Real life hits. They wish they could re-live high school. They played around instead of focusing & investing. They actually have to work now.

shyt not me, 30 was the best year of my life! So much shyt manifested it opened my eyes to how much potential/talent I got and how young I am

30’s are great if you take care of yourself, most people make the mistake of marrying and having kids too young and unless you have a great partner or supernatural drive you have a hard time building and then you feel stuck and when you’re stuck you get depressed. Life is what you make it cliche but

Kids are fed this fantasy life without the reality of what it takes to get there.

In school, when the teacher asks what you want to be, everyone says, veterinarian, firefighter (not knowing most firefighters are volunteers who don’t get paid for it) teacher, doctor, astronaut, scientist etc. Nobody says, manager at Best Buy.

I know adults want to keep kids innocent, but when reality hits, folks are not prepared. There are very few people who love their job, make a lot of money, travel all the time, have happy relationships. Life can take a toll.

32 and I'm good here. Got back to my healthy weight a couple of years ago, no b*stard kids or crippling debt. The only thing stopping me from elevating is myself.
