Turned 30 a couple of weeks ago. My 20's was a mess and I achieved nothing, not enough money or sense. Growing up in a religious cult for 18 years didn't help either, left me with no passion or drive to achieve anything but did give me anxiety and issues with being social, which led to lots and lots of time spent gaming. Getting nearer to 30 I finally started to find out what I liked and wanted to do with my life. I spent my 20's as a human being, I want to spend the rest of my life as a human doing.
I love the way you put it; spend the rest of my life as a human doing. Im thankful we have the opportunity to be introspective with ourselves. Who knows what I would do if I didn't question my actions.
This age-bracket mythological belief about turning 30 was brilliantly immortalized in the film, "Logan's Run" (1976). What you call "the pain of nostalgia" is the loss of the "magic of life." Starts when the magic of running as fast as you can, constantly, when you're a toddler, simply wanes away without you noticing. After about 40, the magic of the night loses its charm, though immortalized in hundreds of pop songs you still listen to. By the time you hit 60, even the magic of music loses its charm. But, that's what life is about -- loss, not gain. "No sooner is a man born, than he begins to die" - Voltaire.
Very relatable words. Thanks for sharing:)

Mr. Jake. Death is inevitable, but our legacy and impact on society is what’ll remain. Whether you’re in your 30’s, 40’s, etc.
Very true! It's definitly hard to shake the thoughts from my head though.
Could you wait until you are 68, like me? :) At your age, I found turning 30 profound.
What did you discover at 30?
