taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least52 years as a fully grown adult
at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)
‘middle age’ is typically considered to be between 45-65
it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age
it’s wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.
you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.
