As someone nearing 40. This is the most accurate life advice I’ve heard in awhile.

Weirdly,I have recently been pondering that it was around when I turned 30 that the "support" I was getting from a lot of people turned into actual support, where before it was "demanding success and getting confused that that didn't help".

John, on my 30th birthday I went into a Gracie Barra and signed up for classes. I'm just a blue belt but you're a serious inspiration for that. Thanks.

but I guess also- why wait. Just do it. do the thing.

If you do it and it goes badly, I promise that will be much easier to stomach in ten years than just not doing it

Some of the things I want to do most are a real problem for late 30s. It is time to fade away.

Being too old and on a deathbed and regretting not doing something you wanted to is one of my fears.

Just turned 30 and extremely relieved to hear this.

at freshly 27 i can say i only very recently have felt that whatever expectations or impression i gave ppl of myself as a kid & teenager has only just started to wear off, so this is reassuring to read
i feel i'm only just starting to scratch at that "really want" level of self reflection anyway
