Fuck me, life STARTS at 30.

I’m not being facetious. When you are 30, kids, you will have more power and agency than you had in your 20s. You will understand yourself and the world better; you’ll have more tools to do what you want, whatever that may be.

Is it easy? Nah. Will you feel like you know what you’re doing? Doubtful. But you’ll feel more settled in your skin sometimes, you’ll know more about how people work, and you’ll have that moment of “I got this” exponentially more than you ever did before.

30 is an excellent place to start the rest of your life. Don’t let media’s obsession with wunderkinds and youth in general mislead you.
