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

[Absolut]

Everything is looking up for me.

Fortunately I was able to avoid being shackled to the wrong kind of woman and I don’t have any children.

Can’t say it enough. the correlation here is incredibly strong. Kids are a fukking anchor 9 out of 10 times. Had my 20 year reunion last month. The folks who had kids early And/or ended up thru the broken marriage wringer just looked like life ran them the fukk over. Every one of em just had that defeated ass demeanor and let themselves go because of it. They got the look when you asked them how things were going and what they were up to these days. Lot of the successful people were single with no kids. No dead weight holding em down. Focus on you first. A family can come later, and it’s much easier to manage when you’re settled in as an individual

I'll be 31 next year and things been all good on my end

Me too actually.

 

[Family Lives Matter]

My family members and loved ones are getting older
Life in general
Body starting to get hurt
Can't eat shyt and not put on weight like I used to

 

[Take It In Blood]

Because the lies we were told as children began to wear off by then

 

[King Khufu]

People who are older and depressed better not have kids because you need to get your shyt together by then. Why fukk around hokassing anymore time?

Real muhfuggin shyt

What's really strange is seeing gen x'ers, and boomers as a 35+ year old and truly understanding where they went wrong.

That's part of the reason why I don't like seeing some family members for the holidays...the regret and shame is palpable. I try to rap with them and feel them, but I'm guccie and they know it .

It be like, damn unc, how you still trying to spit game and wisdom when I've surpassed you breh...it wasn't supposed to be like that

As long as he ain’t jealous and ain’t a bum, listen to his jewels. He still older with more life experience. I make more money now than my mom ever made. Closing in on my dad. Obviously my mom has a lifetime full of wisdom to bestow on me and I love going to her for guidance. She just wasn’t that good with money

Miserable people babble

Im literally better in every way now than when i was in my early mid 20s. Mentally, financially, physically even spiritually. The amount of fuks i give is also night and day. Far happier and sure of myself. I be thinking damn, imagine if i had the mind i got now at 19

Whats funny is i have less "friends" than a decade ago, aint married and have no intention too in the near future. Just building, and putting pieces to set me up for 40+

As you get older, life should be getting better and EASIER to navigate as a man. If its the opposite then you lost and need to reevaluate whats got you preferring your dumb juvenile days.

Yes, I hear that. The refinement is real. The diamonds are shining!

Real talk. Men age like wine, women age like milk.

so glad i seen through the women i was close to in my 20s and distanced myself. All of em have put on pounds and even worse these are women in their 30/40s posting selfies online trying to look cute(with no one other than other old females and gay men saying they look good).

i would be miserable if i had settled down in my 20s with one of these girls. Not to mention children bring responsibility and i wouldnt have been able the risks i did to be comfortable.

Now im getting close to 40, work 1 to 3 days a week max and spend my days smoking weed, playing all the video games, and hanging out whenever and wherever. Just took a month off cause i felt like it

Meanwhile my friends on the same education level are working 2/3jobs sometimes 7 days a week to pay for the wife and kids they cant stand. One guy had an ultimatum, get a 3rd job to buy me a new truck our get out "my" house that he paid for.

Yeah them dudes and they wives are miserable.

Do you wanna be happy or miserable going into your 40s? Follow this one size fits all template that has all these people hating life and you can be just like them.

It's because they are happier being idiots.

Speaking of kids but the single mothers be looking stressed and defeated.It is almost impossible to become financially mobile when you have a mouth to feed and debt to pay.

What hit me most was friends not being as close anymore. Friends get successful jobs, branch out, and move out-of-state..it's bitter sweet. It's also hard due to people starting their own families and ya'll just can't go out every weekend like it's been for years .

I wouldn't change it though, because I'm happy for all of our success.

Going through this now. It’s a solid, tight crew of 4of us. We’ve all known each other since we were 12 years old. We did EVERYTHING together. We’re always together and were super close. Now. We’re all in our early forties with kids, careers and our own separate lives. The love we have for one another is undeniable and everlasting. But we barely see one another anymore. nikkas is family men and fathers now. shyt is strange and melancholy,at least for me. To hang with someone nearly everyday for 25 years and the last few years, everybody just doing their own thing. Man. Guess that’s just life....

Ha! I just turned 30 six months ago and life is just getting started, is how I truly feel. Lotta yall dropped some real nuggets in here...

Bout the only thing I'm not liking is I'm developing a gut, I guess your metabolism slows as you age? But I've got weight I never had when I was younger (around 190 now), so I like that, and im still solidly built, I just have a baby gut. Other than that?

Life is beautiful. It can get better, and it will, but it definitely is fine as is. You gotta think, I spent my teens and 20s fukking around being a criminal and never thought I'd be 30, so I never had a plan or contemplated what I'd be like when I got here. I look back now and there's nothing I miss about being younger other than being a little more in shape, though I think I look better now overall. I made more money illegally and the rush of that, I might miss a little. But not to a strong degree, I'm making okay money now and beginning to separate from the albatross of my kids mother...

I have some fire memories but there isn't really anything I miss about being younger, and in regards to peaking, I look at myself today and ask where was I December 1, 2018? Am I doing better today than I was a year ago at 29? And "better" includes my financial, mental, and emotional health combined, all things considered?

The answer is hell fukking yes!

12/1/17 (age 28)? Yes...
12/1/16 (27)? Yes...
12/1/15 (26)? Yes...
12/1/14 (25)? Yes...
12/1/13 (24)? Yes...
12/1/12 (23)? Yes...
12/1/11 (22)? Yes...
12/1/10 (21)? Yes...
12/1/09 (20)? Yes...

The only year that would even be debatable is my age-24 year (2013-14) and my age 26 year (2015-16), but only parts of those years. I'm in such a better and healthier place, and freer place in mind and spirit, than I ever was at those ages, it's crazy. The level up is real business, you shouldn't peak early and you should ascend as you age...

I had kids earlier than I should have, which does and has slowed my financial momentum, but it hasn't rendered me destitute. It just forces you to recalibrate your path, takes drive, ingenuity, creativity, and passion. And while I wish I waited to have children, I don't really regret it, speaking for myself I don't feel as if they are a cross I can't bear or holding me back, not at all...

The biggest challenge I have coming is how to responsibly and properly handle this impending separation from my kids mom, coming up in the summer. She is a weakness I have and I know that, I know that remaining attached to her isn't the best decision. So I do need to navigate that properly...

But otherwise I'm good and life is great. I don't feel anything but this hot feeling that my best years are ahead, that I haven't hit my prime and I'm nowhere near my peak. I can't wait to see these 30s!

In your 20s you have dreams. In your 30s you have reality.
