Slightly emotional at getting older, is it just me?

[colaman94]

I've been noticing how this Halloween, Thanksgiving and this Christmas/New Year's will all be my 'final' in my 20s as I turn 30 early in 2024. Is anyone else when they reached such milestones age bracket, feel the same or similar? And also how much the culture and pop culture has changed. I for one find Halloween growing yet Christmas shrinking. And the television coverage for New Year's Eve is less and less TV or even cable stations every year. Is it just me?

It's just you

I also felt that way when I neared 20/30/40/50/60/70/80/90

Hmmm 🤔

I'm not against me getting older, lol, I'm just feeling nostalgic/mixed feelings 😆😂 about how I'm 29 going on 30. I also have noticed pop cultures changes and demographic changes of let's say when I was, example 19 compared to now at 29. How much culture changed and keeps changing. 👀👀👀

I'm happy with my life and consider myself lucky knowing many people are less advantageous than me. But one insidious concern I have, is I feel I delayed a normal lifestyle by not being grounded in my personal growth in my 20s.

If I have kids, my friends might not be able to socialize with me, cause my kids will be too young to be friends with their kids.

Oh I'm glad I've not had kids and I have no intention to want kids personally, and at almost 30 and then 30+ I'll be, I'm glad that "the marriage ship has sailed for me" as I'm finding I'm happier and have more time/resources for me, my family and friends. A woman would just probably hog all my attention and funds ahahaha. 😆😏

The thing that really bothers me is how much the world has changed and I have stayed the same.

No, that's actually quite common.
