Yup! I hated being a kid and a young adult. You have to work so hard in school and at work to prove yourself and still nobody takes you seriously or treats you with real respect. You burn yourself out taking on too much, and you never have enough time or energy left over to do the things you want to do.
But I really like where I am now. I’m retired, physically fit, have time to cook healthy meals from scratch, and I can pursue my interests and hobbies. People take me seriously and respect my choices (for the most part anyway). I’m not nuts about aging and the hormonal changes that go along with it, but medication, skincare, healthy eating, and exercise are helping.
Yep I could never fathom why people said it was the best years of your life! People don’t respect you or take you seriously, and you can easily get burnt out.
I’m right there with you about ageing. I’ve only just wrapped my head round the idea that I’m not young, and now things are breaking!
