I turned 35 a week ago. Many aspects of my life are “not in order.” I’m single, do not own the place where I live, and I am dissatisfied in my career and income. However, I live in a beautiful place, and I have many wonderful relationships. I spend time in nature and breathe a lot of fresh air. On the weekends, I get out into the mountains or to islands. So there are highs and lows. This is how life is. A mix.

[@HarrDarr]

Not to disparage your life but the single most prevalent factor in happiness of people over the age of 45 is that they have children and/or grandchildren. It's an extremely important part of why humans and particularly women are happy when they enter their middle and elder years. This is something people have known for thousands of years and this is also why our culture is so tuned into having children and why you may be looked at oddly for not having them before you are literally unable to concieve. By the time you are 40 years old you have less than 5% chance to gettting pregnant on each cycle.

37 and still don't have any of that. Single, no kids, a "no skill" warehouse job. Studio apartment for just me and my cat. Some days I feel like a failure, others I feel like I got time. But at the end, I never feel like a part of life is missing, I'm content with what my life is.

[@AlexComey]

Don't get caught up in society's notion of what you SHOULD be. Life isn't fair, the woman in this video had a lucky opportunity as a child and since has never had the worry about finances and the strife financial hardship brings. Thus making everything else easier for her in life. Be content with what you have as it could be worse and enjoy life for the simple moments, you provide for yourself and your cat who as all pet owners know, is your family. Good enough in my eyes.

I'll tell you an example... some of these songs I can play now, ten years ago I thought would be impossible. Now, I can do it. It's only impossible if you WANT it to be impossible. Rock on. \w/

⁠@@webguy943not at 24 bro. You sound incredibly ignorant

[@shogunshogun]

@@wallyjackson9543False. Webguy is right. Women are running out of time biologically to be married and be blessed with healthy children. So even at 24, women feel their time is running out for the best case scenario for a family. Before 30, women have 85% chance of conceiving in a year, but at 30 that chance drops to 75%, then 66% and 44% at 35 and 40 years old, respectively. When a girl hits puberty, she had 500k eggs. At 37 years old, that drops down to 25k, and at 51 years old, menopause sets in. Not only the number but the quality of the eggs decline. Between 45 and 50 years old, most of her minimally remaining eggs are chromosomally abnormal.

A big thing about 30 is that after 30 everyone just expects you’re good at what you do and you have yourself together. Suddenly you don’t impress anyone anymore.

[@josephchristiansen1803]

[@keerthi0613]

And when those people are our own family members, our anxiety & stress levels are off the charts!

[@whitemakesright2177]

As a man, you don't understand women's psychology. It is biologically hard-wired in them to care about what other people think. As men, we can survive independently. Women cannot, especially if they are pregnant or have young children. In the past, if a woman got kicked out of the tribe, she was as good as dead, so it is biologically ingrained in her to care a lot about what the tribe thinks of her.

[@jsequine927]

She’s spot on. I was so stressed before I turned 30 basically because of standards others and society had created. Once I let go of that, 31 and 32 were two of the best years of my life.

It can be for sure but please don’t trick young girls into thinking it’s ok to squander their youth. At 40 kids may not even be an option anymore, starting a career at 40 has you retired at 70. A 30 year mortgage paid off at 70! And you are completely lying to yourself if you think 40 year old you has the looks of 24 year old you. Girls can tell themselves whatever they want but a 40 year old girl that coasted through her 20’s and 30’s is NOT going to be a great guys first choice in a women(most of the time).

Emma is right in what she says. I am a little younger than her and as someone who is in her 20s and in college I can say that many men and women, more than afraid of age, are afraid of feeling unfulfilled or that they do not meet certain standards. Especially nowadays when people compare themselves a lot with other people, it is important to understand that to feel fulfilled or happy there is not only one path and that you are you, and that it is not necessary to compare your life with that of others. We can always improve some aspect of our life and learn to appreciate each stage of our life.

[@fonhollohan2908]

That hilarious been stressed because your turning thirty, that's nothing! wait till you get to your sixties and your body starts to break down, then you have a legitimate reason to be stress, instead of getting stressed over some intrusive thoughts. Be yourself and enjoy your life one day at a time. Stop living in the future and ignore the fears that accompany them. like i said, enjoy your life you only have one. And don't get married till you meet the man of your dreams. Don't settle for you anyone either. Seek your creator instead of living for self than you feel fulfilled when you deny your fleshly desire and pour yourself into helping others it's the most fulfilling way of life there is. I say that because self is never satisfied it's always wanting more thinking if you have more of this or that you'll be happy no that's just a lie. When you put your creator first its only then can you discern what your called to be on this earth it will be that clear to you. Jesus loves Emma he loves you with an everlasting love.

[@greenkitty82]

​​@@fallonnelson2141absolutely. It's never too late to do anything in life and we can learn new things at any ages. The reason for all this checklist age pressure is because the culturescape has indoctrinated people to have a pack mentality where you need to follow a certain life path by a certain age when really there is no plan. If people want those certain things good for them and if they don't want those things good for them. Life isn't a checklist, it's about what you feel your purpose is and living it.

When I got 30 I was living in a shared Apartment and loving it. Now I am 34 and moved together with my bf and it is such a fun.

[@pikaskew]

As someone in his 50’s it’s so bizarre hearing people stress about 30’s. Those are some of the best years to be had really.

[@guyedwards22]

There may be social pressures that people feel you must live up to, but mass consensus tends to have lots of strange illogical fun bits to it. What matters is your own contentment with where you're at in life. This can mean health, finances, career, relationships, goals, etc. If you're not happy, then take steps to remedy the discontent and keep moving forward. If it's only stressful because of an imaginary time limit, then fretting is wholly unnecessary. Some things, like the beauty of youth, will fade no matter what you do. It is difficult to lose it if you care about it, but it's better to develop and age with dignity and acceptance. You'll look a lot better adapting your style and demeanor in real time rather than attempting to cling to something long past. Everybody's path is different, and personally, as someone coming up on 30, I'm astounded that if I take good care of myself, I my life isn't even close to halfway over yet. There's still so much to see, and I feel more confident and wise in navigating life than I ever have before.

My wife had our daughter when she was 29. It was one of the hardest things on her body. Waiting any longer to have a kid and things may have turned out very badly. And honestly, as you get older…like, I’ve experienced being let go from work, being jobless, moving to new cities and across the country, death of friends and family - a lot of life’s ups and downs and I am so happy to have had the support of my wife through those experiences. The longer you live alone, the more you do alone, and that’s kinda sad. Wishing you all luck in finding someone to experience life with.

To a lot of women, 30s is actually a happier place than teens and 20s. You have an education, you earn better, you are independent, you stopped worrying about your appearance and what others think about you. You are no longer naive and have developed worldy wisdom.
