When I was a kid, I figured that I'd be a famous drummer in a rock band with a lot of million-selling records to my name and I'd be rich and famous with a wife and a bunch of kids!! I'm way past 38 now and, so far, all I've had of that dream is being a drummer in a rock band that COULD'VE made it if our singer hadn't been so scared of being famous!! Sadly, I didn't discover that until shortly after he died!! We came close, though!!
At 38, I was still seeing my future ex-fiance and was madly in love with her. We took a 4 hour buss ride west twice that summer just to go see a couple of concerts (Todd Rundgren and then King Crimson), my band was playing lots of gigs in Erie and Youngstown and we'd just finished recording and releasing our second album the year before. Life was great and, although there were SOME aspects of it I WOULDN'T want to live through again, for the most part, I'd go back in a heartbeat!!
I really feel no different today except for the edema in my feet and no one to love.

38 was the year of great change for me, although at the time I did not know it.

I believe I hit my mid-life crisis at 37. I gained a new perspective, mostly boiled down to "If not now, then when?" as far as doing things. But also it was about owning my shit.

I had a rough life up to that point and I was still struggling paycheck to paycheck. While I can maintain how everything was not my fault, I realized that it didn't matter whose fault it was. In the end it was still my fault for making bad decisions, like dating the wrong girl, trusting the wrong people, etc.

It's not about self-pity, but quite the opposite.. it was about fixing my life. I made some dramatic changes between 38-45, a lot of them were slow or took time to take effect, but the majority of mental changes I went through were at 38.

Happy birthday, my friend!

How did I feel 4 years ago? Clearly like a whole different person! I mean going from 30s to 40s suddenly everything just feels different and yet in some ways still the same.

Eventually you hit some sort of midlife crisis or something. You grow your hair out, go by a new fancy name, get yourself some expensive clothes and maybe a sports car and just try to live out a life you feel like you missed out on. If I ever get a fancy sports car I will also needlessly gender it female and say she purrs like a kitten.

Oh and aviator shades. Can't forget those.

Or maybe it just all feels the same. Lol 😊

HAPPY (BELATED) BIRTHDAY!!! 🎂🎂🎂🎂👏👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🎊
I knew when your birthday was because you mentioned it, but I wasn't able to be online on that day.

I hope that by the time I'm 38 I'll be living in a decent country with decent people and with more quality of life. Also, I want to have my own place, my car, my friends and hopefully a job that I like with a good paycheck. At least good enough to pay for all my essential expenses. I expect to be at peace with myself and living my life to the fullest!

Hope this new chapter of your life brings you happiness and success! 😊

As you get older, the years fly faster. 38 for me, just zipped by, but exciting things were happening. When I was 18, I was going nowhere, both career-wise and social-wise. I was withdrawn, depressed, and considering suicide. A couple of years later, things started opening up. I got a new job, moved away from my parents, moved to a new area, and started breaking out of a lot of shells. I learned and did things I had been too afraid to try years before. I started talking to girls, learned about relationships through trial and error, eventually got married, and had two daughters. Career-wise, I was moving up the ladder. By the time I was 38, I felt I had accomplished everything I ever wanted to do. Physically, I was still in pretty good shape.

Happy birthday!!!

It’s been a year of ups and downs dude. The past 1.5 years have really been wild. Work wise 38 is miles better than 37. My sex life got a jump start when I turned 38 so that is awesome. I discovered G@G when I was 38, that has been a roller coaster in and of itself.
.
When I was younger 38 seemed old. I don’t feel that old. Live your best life!

It seems to me that 38+ is the best time of life. A person is unsure of themselves in their 20's. Many spend their whole 20's going to college and trying to find themselves. In their 30's they are usually working and climbing up the ladder. At 38+ they are at the top of their game.

Happy Birthday, Still-alive!

When I turned 38, I had been working for an great company for 11.5 years. I was earning a great salary and benefits, had a company car and worked in the field, so I had a lot of freedom. I was a motor vehicle claims adjuster.

Because the job had initially been such a dramatic lifestyle change, I had put on weight and didn't like myself for about 5 years. But by age 35, I had gotten myself together, lost the weight, and gotten in good shape. I lived in an apartment that I really liked, was working out a lot, getting brown lying by the pool, and I started dating again.

When I was 37, I met a woman who was the most amazing woman I had ever known. I mean AMAZING! I kept my apartment but began virtually living with her at the house she was renting. My time with her was a major pinnacle in my life. We lived together for over a year, so I was with her when I turned 38. My life couldn't have been better.

Happy birthday! Hopefully by age 38 I'll know what I want out of life career wise and that I'll have a husband or at least a boyfriend. And if also possible have student loans paid in full. I would just feel like I'm getting older at that point and know that I'll be approaching middle age

Happy birthday, Still-alive!

My 38th year of life was probably the worst I've lived through.
My wife became pregnant.
I was firmly against it happening in the first place, and was assured by my wife that it wouldn't, but it did happen.
I accepted it and moved on with life, but yeah, not a good year.

Cheers to you!

Hrmm. 38, for me that was 38 years ago for me. 1983 was a rebuilding year. 1978 was when my racing accident was and it was about 5 years before I got the halo off. I had sold all of my racing equipment, tools, and cars, to pay hospital bills. In another 5 years from 1983, I lost my wife to cancer. Many of those memories are painful, some are non-existant.

NathanDavis · Answer

no idea... hopefully I'm still healthy by then, as long as I can do sports I think it will be fine.

my uncle did play soccer with us till age 45, and he was still in top shape... but then he got some issues with sugar levels and that was genetic, many older adults in my family, both sides have some issues that are mostly genetic so that's my priority... to stay in shape and to be more fit... and that's my only concern about aging, health.

At 38, I will be preparing for my mid life crisis. I’ll be okay. It’s 2 years for me to mess up my life than cry about it as I turn 40 before figuring out what I want to do next. I’m ready jack

I was still feeling pretty good when I was 38. I had hopes of running another marathon and I was working full time, going to school at night , raising kids, and doing al sorts of things that required a lot of energy.

BlueWalker · Answer

At age 40 I still feel like I'm 21. lol I'm fortunate, I guess, but a big key to that is staying active. My dad is 74 now and he said he didn't start feeling older until he was about 55. Hopefully it's the same for me.

As for your question, unfortunately, age 38 was kind of uneventful, but I was (and still am) doing all the things I was doing without aches and pains like I was when I was 21.

Happy belated birthday by the way. 🥳

There really isn't an ending age for gaming, or memes and humor does not level up with you

PlasticGamerGirl · Answer

I feel like the older I get less changes. My parents were in good health then and I take care of myself so I don't see it being much different. I have friends that age that still have the same capabilities I do. They are just older. We need to drop this hyper focus on these numbers unless it matters to the situation (or health reasons) or its illegal.

ShadezMcgee · Answer

Well, happy birthday first off. Don't know how that will be, I have 9 years before that since I just turned 29. I will say that I am aiming to be living in my house with a family in a quiet piece of land in the countryside.
