50 and yes, I’m there with you. I am really the same person with perhaps more experience and wisdom. I think that people who get old are born that way.
I'm almost 34 and my life so far was and still is not worth it so far, so I stopped counting at 20. Unfortunately my body didn't and already began slow disassembly.
I go the other way. My 20s were filled with good things yes, but also many embarrassing life lessons where I didn't read the room appropriately or missed possible opportunities for romantic relationships. I had a short period of doing silly things to try to impress others. I spent money on stupid shit, and stayed at a job for way too long before finally moving on which put me years behind in my career. I got addicted to World of Warcraft for an entire year and accomplished absolutely nothing with my life. I never physically injured anyone or committed crimes, but I could have been a better version of myself. I do value my 20s, but really because of all the lessons I learned that made me a better person in the years after.
You can keep my 20s, thanks. My 30s were pretty excellent though and I would probably be okay being 33-37 until I die a regularly human lifespan.

I'm 53. Spiritually and mentally, I haven't aged a day in thirty years.

Some decades, you don't age at all. Some days, you age decades.

Agree, at 36 I feel like I'm almost ready to turn 25 soon!

Although, I have quit doing coke. or… Rather… I can no longer afford it.
Still have a mohawk, though
