It's weird, because it sounds like getting older signifies life losing its luster for many. I find the opposite. I have a career (and money) to what I like, I am mature enough to understand what's important in life or prioritize accordingly, and I can pretty much make all the rules my life runs by (obviously relative to being a kid with nothing but parents' discretion...work, bills, etc. still govern how I set those rules up so that I am not a failure at life).

It doesn't hurt that I constantly get early to mid 20s for my age despite being 33 or that I have worked on fixing my health so that I feel physically healthy and therefore younger (lost close to 30 lbs in the last 6 months). So I do feel youthful.

But I do hate the texting abbreviations which, apparently, is a requirement along with emoji knowledge in order to communicate with women 21 up to my age.
