I’m also 35 and I don’t feel like my age. I feel younger, like I’m still in my 20’s. The fact I’ll be 40 in five years is crazy to me lol. I still enjoy watching Disney movies and watching shows I grew up with. I will still watch that stuff when I’m an old woman 😋

Happy Birthday btw!

Idk, I always have felt like I'm older than I am. Turning 30 this year and very excited for my 30's!

Happy birthday by the way!! 🎈

I'm 40.
I'm dead inside.

Sadness is just, very very familiar to me.

I feel... 60 years old.

I feel like, if anything, I've become more of what I already was. I still like fairytales and magic and stories about the human heart in conflict with itself, I still fear being unworthy and helpless, I still find joy and wonder in being outside and finding a bird willing to land on my hand. I still feel bewildered and horrified by what humanity can sink to. Just... more so.

I suppose I've found workarounds for some of my flaws and my emotional regulation is better, but I don't feel grown up. And I feel as deeply as I ever did

Thank you for the birthday wishes ❤️

Wild. Life must be a drug to you.

That's an apt way of putting it, actually, yes. It's as much curse as it is blessing, because I find it so easy to experience joy but when something wounds me, it wounds me deeply.
