16
Fuck being an adult. I just don’t wanna wake up sometimes.
Mid twenties.
Young enough to do whatever I want but old enough to be taken seriously.
Anywhere between 28-32. Old enough that people take you mostly seriously but young enough that the world still feels like it’s set up with you specifically in mind.
I’m gonna turn 28 in 2 weeks. Any wise words to make the best of the next 4 years?
Get a solid workout routine and make sure to stick with it. Whatever you want your goals to be, start now if you haven’t yet. Don’t put off taking care of your health.
25, maybe 30.
Your brain doesn’t finish developing until around that point, and it’s the part that helps you control your thoughts and emotions (prefrontal cortex). There are no other advantages after 30, though, and the development been 25 and 30 isn’t as vast as 18 to 25.
That said, I’ve been blessed with a middle aged 40 year old body since I was 12, so meh. (And really, I should have been given “most likely to do his taxes on time” title in the yearbook.)
For this I usually go with 27. Trade slightly more cortex development while only losing about 3% more of my collagen. So like one crowfoot and a forehead crease, but no more. Eyes are also stable enough for eye surgery but not going into retinal decline like in the 30s. Basically your late 20s rides off all your physical generation for a lot of different soft tissues being peak into ~25 but not having caused the damage that starts to build up and cause side effects in your 30s.
Are we min/maxing our answers? Lol
Early thirties. Peak physical, loads of free time, good paying job, so good money.
I miss the endurance I had. Everything else is still like that.
Anything between 28 and 32 sounds fine.
- I was still healthy, but left blessedly alone.
I’d say probably 22-24. I’d prefer a little older for sure, but at age 25-26 a disease I didn’t know I had got much much worse and has effectively robbed me of half my life. So a little younger for me.
I’d say around 25. I’m still fit and perfectly healthy at 33 but I’m not getting any healhier from this on.
Probably early 30s, like 30-34. Relatively young but not too young, and my knees didn’t crack as much as they do now. lol
I think I would choose 30, but I’d like to do my 20s differently. Lifestyle creep is real. I notice my younger coworkers also make the mistake of spending way too freely. I’d also get married earlier. And take bigger risks earlier.
My vampire age was 45. Absolutely would keep that body forever, sex drive like a teenager but stronger, happier, more experience, physically I think that was my favorite but honestly feel great now too, and no chance of getting pregnant so maybe I’d keep this one.
I see people saying 25 and 30 but my life has definitely been an “it gets better” experience overall. 30s were the worst point so far.
I liked being 16. Mature enough to design grand plans. Naive enough to actually try them.
Plus the greatest adversary I face for the rest of my life would just be standardized testing :P
- I had a lot of growing to do before then, but at that point I felt like I had become a person I wanted to be. I actually had got back to school, so I was around a community of learners, and I felt like I was still on top of my job. I feel like I mulliganed my early 30s to the pandemic.
