You are not a "boomer" if you aren't in your twenties. You are not irrelevant if you aren't in your twenties. You don't go straight from being a kid to being "old". Stages of life are fluid and vary for each person, and should be savored to the fullest of your means to do so.

Stop letting internet memes about age, height, and general state of being have an actual impact on your mental health. They mean nothing, and don't benefit you in any material way.

edit 1 part 1: this is the worst comment section I've even seen in any Hexbear thread in all my years, except for @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net who is as always the best of us

edit 1 part 2: generationalism is also made up, don't let people put you into boxes and further don't put yourself into a box that someone else made up for you

My knees hurt, my kidney stones are acting up again, the image of that guy in the mirror is like a badly cut hair loss commercial, the damn kids bug me with thier minecraft every day but suuuure tell me again how age is just a number and it's the internet memes that make me feel bad Mr. Chapo.

Turning 40 really is like hitting a brick wall. You stumble, remember how easy it was to smoke a blunt, drink some beers and then go for a run the next morning just 10 years ago. And you can see where it's all gonna end up just 10 years from now. Fuck.

Still better than the alternative

Fair. My Nana’s the one I learned the phrase from and she lived to be 103. She must have had a reason to keep going.
