Is the end nigh???

30 Aug 2004

I'm 30 at the end of the year,does my life begin or end at this point????

30 Aug 2004

Steve - see my sig! I'm 47 and still alive in every sense of the word!
Did my life end at 30? No way! - I would say that the best time of your lives are the 30s & 40s (and hopefully 50s+ too).
I wouldn't ever want to go back to my 20s

30 Aug 2004

The week before my 30th i was gutted...... But looking back (im 32 now) it was stupid of me . Theres no difference at all.
Im sure your lovely wifey keeps you young xxxx

steve!
i hope you'll find it very much begins mate!
at 35 i no longer value the opinions of those i once wanted to impress, and have discovered who my real friends are! a certain amount of pruning took place along the way, but i am what i am and i don't give a flying one in general any more. only real friends matter, and your perception of who *you* are! 30's are damn good mate. you reckon i'd have been here at 28 telling you the bollox i come out with? the answers no mate! happy birthday in advance!

No, you've still got to wait 10 years till the kids are grown, but then you have to have the common sense to realise it which nobody does until they're 50 by which time is almost too late.

You're still a nipper from where I'm standing. Your 30s will be great. I'm 45 and I still feel younger than you look in your avatar. lol

Have to agree with LC....I'm 45 in a few months and feel fitter and wiser than I was in my 20's, more adventurous as well lol

D'you mean to say you haven't got 'em already?? FFS ... These people who cling doggedly (best use for that word!!) on to their faded youth.

being adventurous is rarely bad for you in my experience! whether that's sexuality or discovering you're quite good at climbing mountains ((( real ones as well as metaphorical ones! i go climbing yer real mountains, and stumble over the metaphorical ones on a daily basis )))
it takes a certain amount of time to be comfortable enough in yourself to dare! we spend far too much of our early lives trying to fit in, whatever that means? it's good to shed that kinda concern! really good! your attitudes might well change, but upstairs i'm no older than i was at 18. just i have more valid experiences to draw upon! no bad thing, and in a way i look forward to my 40's, and i never thought i'd say that!

As I have gone into my 40's I find I have no need to impress people, they take me for who I am, and yes as we've gone into our 40's me and MrsFC feel more sexually adventurous lol

30 Aug 2004

Sorry you lot,i really don't think he's taking it all that seriously!! :shock:
As a young lady on here said to me,when he's 50 ill look like his mum!!!! confused

But then again,maybe he's seriously worried about it and darent tell me!! :?

I agree with MrFC - you lose more inhibitions in you 30s/40s (40s particularly).
Sex is far far better (well I have found so anyway).
I feel far more relaxed with who I am.
People take me as they find me.

Life is what you make of it....
At 20, I was having the time of my life...But was not very wise.
At 30, I was tied up doing all the usual stuff that grown up people have to do...But was not happy.
At 40, my life was turned upside down..........And I came out of it, a far happier and hopefully wiser person.
I am now 45........
I am not wealthy....But I get by.
I have lost friends....But found real ones.
In the mirror I see time creeping up on me.....But still I try to do my best.
Once I lived on the dance floor......Now the aches and pains remind me of all the good times I have had.
I cry a little....But I smile a whole lot more.
45 is not so bad.
Life is what you make of it....
- just a gurl
very poignant!
but true for many of us!

30 Aug 2004

Yeah it bothers me a bit but it was really put in jest,i'm sorry if anyone took it too seriously.
Please don't hate me,but i really am 30 at the end of the year,i wasnt lying.

When I was 18 my father was a complete idiot.
By the time I was 25 he was coming along nicely!
