When I turned 30 I was quite ate up about it.

Now almost 20 years beyond that point, when a colleague turns 30, "oh whatever you're still just a baby lol"

Funny how that works

perspective and time is a bitch. I hear about my little nieces and nephews getting married or having kids and all I can remember is how tiny they were the last time I saw them.

I see them and I think, damn you're still kids.

Note you can sign up to AARP at any age.

can I wait to sign up until I'm 70 then? because shit is annoying.

I get aarp letters too, but it was also really common in the 90s and early 00s to fill in your birthday as the early half of the 1900s. So I think that’s just them thinking I’m over a hundred.
