Congrats!

I'm not there yet so can't comment, to me age is just a number and everyone thinks I'm much younger than I am so can't see it being a problem but only time will tell.

I blew by 30 and 40 without any hiccups. At 50, I had gained some weight and was out of shape, so it hit pretty hard.

Back in shape, 60 was not too bad, but at 65 I had experienced some physical issues and it has been more difficult since.

Always eat well, exercise, and stay in shape.

25 and 27 were terrible. At 30, I felt like my life was 100% over.

Not liking this whole ageing thing at all xD .

Happy birthday!

I'm not there yet, but I have a brother and cousin in their 40s. I think it weirds my brother out knowing he's the age my parents were during his teen and early adult years. He also commented on a group of over the hill cyclists that rides from Florida to Alaska, always thinking he could do it with youth on his side, but now realizing he's the same age.

For me, it's a bit weird that I've known people in their 40s since they were prepubescent. But the weirdest thing of all is that people born in the 80s are the ones turning 40 this year, and people born in 1990 (!!!) are thirty. That still bamboozles my brain.

Maybe they're waiting for gasmasks and latex to get sexy again.

The world has become a weird place.

Congrats, you are now middle-aged!

I think last year hit me the hardest after realizing I have no friends, family, stable career, or savings, and have accomplished basically nothing and what I have accomplished was pointless.
It was all a build up of things getting better and better from 19-26, then afterwards each year got worse and worse. It's been a consistent downhill in all respects since 26 for me.

Your 40s and 50s are when you are supposed be starting to relax and confident in your skills doing your best life's work.

Does that mean that I'm young since my age is less than 40?

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

I believe that the tipping point comes when you truly accept, deep inside, that you are almost certainly in the second half of your life.

That's what the statistics says.

Thank guys!
Yeah, maybe I dont have diabetes, but a bit of hearing loss, definitely.
This is rather a result of too much heavy metal on walkman in 90s..:)
