Now I'm 41 and I don't know how it happened so goddamn fast. Every year, I get more and more anxious about trying to get shit done before my time comes.

What are you trying to get done? This is your life right now. Enjoy it, don't spend it worrying about the end.

Acquire property to call my own for one. This renting thing is getting real old. Something to leave my kid other than a busted up old car would be nice.

Edit: Hey, looks like zoomers and old millennials aren't so different after all. They're right. The fuckin' boomers took it all.

Contrary to popular similar stories I had the feeling that I was in my 20-25s for “I was there for a long time” and I was eager for the next decades (with a small break for depression but I got through) Now I’m 28 and it kinda feels it speeds up but I don’t complain (but I do complain about everything else, A LOT)

It does speeds up. I remember my teens and 20's and they weren't that short. But next 2 decades are a blur. Either some brain quirk or just mindless drudgery taking up 80% or my time did that.

yea makes sense given that at your 30s-40s it’s very likely that you’ve end up at your “career path” and after 1-2 years working on the same thing (otherwise you’d be full of stress) it becomes very mundane
