You are not a "boomer" if you aren't in your twenties. You are not irrelevant if you aren't in your twenties. You don't go straight from being a kid to being "old". Stages of life are fluid and vary for each person, and should be savored to the fullest of your means to do so.

Stop letting internet memes about age, height, and general state of being have an actual impact on your mental health. They mean nothing, and don't benefit you in any material way.

edit 1 part 1: this is the worst comment section I've even seen in any Hexbear thread in all my years, except for @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net who is as always the best of us

edit 1 part 2: generationalism is also made up, don't let people put you into boxes and further don't put yourself into a box that someone else made up for you

      At 25 I feel much younger than at 21. I kinda don't even know what happened 22-24. I remember being very early in my 20s and thinking on how long it will be till I'm mid 20s and it felt like a couple of days ago, and now I'm 25. My time perception is very weird and has always been though. Sometimes a week feels like a year. I never know what day of the week or date it is unless forced to, and then I quickly forget. If I was allowed to work 6 hours a day, my time perception would be much slower. I'm losing my life to work. :(

      Man I don’t, but I am a lot more grounded. Honestly the diminishing sex drive has felt like an absolute boon and I wish I had just opted to go on a ton of antidepressants early bc I feel so much more clear headed about relationships than I did before.

      The back pain jokes crack me up bc I tweaked my back as a teen in track and it’s never been the same so I don’t relate so much… it’s just always been there
