I still feel like an 18 yo teenager inside!

I'm much more secure in everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-aging#post-1687375 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 12:17:06 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1687375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is making me excited for my 30s.

I feel like I'm having a quarter-life crisis right now (I'm 26) so I really appreciate hearing things like what @looch said. I've actually had a lot of people say their thirties were better than their twenties because they felt more secure and knew who they were. I find that really comforting. My biggest issue right now is I'm unhappy in my job, but I'm having trouble finding a new one. I just feel under-challenged and underpaid and I think that's making me feel panicky about getting older and being "trapped" in this job. I'm hoping my thirties are less confusing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-aging#post-1686798 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 17:20:03 +0000 Synchronicity 1686798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm enjoying the aging process right now. I'm turning 26 in a few months, and I feel like 30 is this idealistic age that I can't wait to reach. I've always felt a little ahead of my peers; I've been in a relationship for a long time, we own a house, we are planning on starting a family soon. Many of my friends are still binge-drinking and having one night stands. I also look quite a bit younger than my age, so I look forward to reaching a point where I don't get carded every time I buy alcohol (I'm 7 years over the legal drinking age!! Ugh!!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-aging#post-1686793 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 17:12:53 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1686793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't mind aging at all. I think life is much better now in my 30s than my 20s and teen years, by far. I am.much happier and secure with myself these days and I love my little family. The only thing that has started to bother me a little bit is the wrinkles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-aging#post-1686098 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 22:19:38 +0000 shortcake 1686098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Age is a question of mind over matter.

I feel exactly the same. I never thought I'd love my 30s more than my 20s but I have been a happier, healthier person every year since turning 28 or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-aging#post-1684383 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 09:50:15 +0000 Alivoo01 1684383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have mixed emotions. I'm glad I'm aging because it's a privilege and I get to experience so many opportunities I wouldn't get to unless I was aging, but dying has always been a super scary thing for me. I don't wanna die, even though I know it's inevitable. So I want time to slow down/stand still or rewind a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-aging#post-1683947 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 08:07:34 +0000 mrs. bird 1683947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>getting older didn't bother me until very recently. i mean, i'm not a fan of gray hair or lines under my eyes, but i was okay with them. now i feel pretty anxious about my age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-aging#post-1683939 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 08:04:50 +0000 littlek 1683939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: that's so sweet. :heart: </p> <p>I don't mind aging. I enjoyed my 20s and have no regrets. I am glad I made the decisions I have made and would not change anything. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-aging#post-1683896 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 07:47:07 +0000 Anagram 1683896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm fine with my age (34), because I'm happy with where I am now. But for SURE I miss my 20's body and face, so If I could keep getting older every year but still look like I'm 20 something, I'd jump right on that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-aging#post-1683890 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 07:44:50 +0000 MsLipGloss 1683890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In so many ways, my life started at 31. For the most part, I don't feel (or act!) my age, and until I truly start looking it, I do alright with it. Where I start to struggle is when I realize that being an older FTM means that I will have less time with my LO, and I can't ever imagine missing any part of her life.</p> <p>And sure, there are moments when I see young girls and I try to remember being that young (because OMG, I never realized how young early 20's really is when I was that age!). . . But really, the only time in my life that I would want to repeat would be meeting my DH to present . . . we had so much fun together and shared so many laughs that remembering the beginning of our relationship makes me feel nostalgic. And I never understood *nostalgia* until just recently. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-aging#post-1683816 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 06:27:09 +0000 looch 1683816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was in my 20's, I was very anxious about aging, because I wasn't sure what would happen in my life. I feel like I had a quarter life crisis, honestly.</p> <p>Then at age 27, things all of a sudden changed. I started a new job, made money, started to travel, began to really feel comfortable in my body. I felt great. It kind of changed my attitude and I realized that with the passing of time, I had more experience, more knowledge, more things to offer. </p> <p>My 30s have been nothing short of fabulous and I am actually looking forward to my 40s, which will be even more fabulous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-aging#post-1683783 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 05:11:14 +0000 yin 1683783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm odd and actually look forward to aging. DH is 3.5 years older than me, and I always feel like I'm trying to catch up. He just turned 31. I'm still in my late 20's and eagerly await the big 3 0. Definitely not normal. I also don't mind looking older either. Maybe I'll finally stop being carded. Recently the mall stopped carding me. You have to be 18 to shop on weekends after 6 pm. I think the two kids might steer them away from my direction though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-aging#post-1683771 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 04:41:55 +0000 Mae 1683771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm fine with it. I feel like I'm exactly where I wanted to be at this age (29)-- married with a baby and living in a nice house. I've always felt old for my age so I feel like I'm sort of finally catching up in years to my attitude. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-aging#post-1683760 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 03:39:53 +0000 NurseMommy 1683760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's better than the alternative.<br /> Honestly, it doesn't bother me, because I'm in a much better place than I was when I was younger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-aging#post-1683751 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 02:34:43 +0000 Cherrybee 1683751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still feel really childish and immature so it scares me when I look in the mirror and I see how much I'm ageing! I love it when I have a "Man, I'm old" moment with regard to my attitudes and outlook - it makes me feel wise! - but I'm terrified of my face these days! I really, really don't want to age physically. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-aging#post-1683734 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 02:00:44 +0000 erinpye 1683734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not aging! I hang out with youngins like you and HLK to keep me young! :silly: I still feel young, although it's weird for me to now be 30 instead of 20-something. Those moments I tell people my age now make me feel slightly less young. Not bad or sad, just weird. I was 9 at my mom's 30th birthday and I thought she was so old, so that could be why I feel odd- I always associated it with being old since she was being teased for being "over the hill" at her party. </p>
