I think everybody's "best years" are totally subjective. But, that said, age definitely brings unique hardship and to deny that would be disingenuous.
New pains, health concerns, losing more and more relatives and friends to illness and accidents. Oh and the world is being actively dismantled by narcissists with more money than anyone could possibly need, that's not slowing down.

Anyone who says their 20s were the best years of their life experienced them in the 90s or earlier.

30's were my best years. But that's only because i wasn't sober in my 20's.

My 20s were the absolute fucking worst. My 30s? Amazing. Life for me began at 30.

I think it's safe to say that my entire generation is hoping

I literally had cancer in my 20's while being piss poor. If that was the best I wonder what kind of sick shit is coming up next.

I got told that about my 30s, and so far they've been by far the most stressful period I've ever lived through.

I don't know what Jack Dee looked like in his 20s, but I think he was probably a grumpy old man when he was in his 20s.

He would have been in his early 30s at this point, but if this tape I found online is anything to go by, he just looked like some dude.

He's been bald for so long that this feels like a Mandella effect.

ahhh, I have to wait to "obtain" the latest ep until usually Saturdays... lol. I'm glad to see a Last Leg presence on Lemmy, though!

I was so high and drunk that I can't remember my 20s.... 30s have been alright tho.

20s suckkkkked. 30s were a huge improvement, especially when I stopped drinking. Now in my 40s I feel like I'm made of adamantine.
I hate how all the boring advice I heard all my life turned out to be true.
