I LOVE my 40s. The fear and uncertainty I felt when younger disappeared. I was absolutely sure about what I wanted to do. Never fear aging. Only fear treating good people badly, not living your dreams, and not doing the internal work to be the best version of yourself. ❤

I’m in my 50’s now and it’s even better. Each year brings deeper insight, maturity, purpose, and determination.

For me it's the total opposite. I had crippling anxiety and depression all through my teenage and 20s... I achieved total calm with my 30s. I had no energy in my 20s because I was so anxious. I'm over it in my 30s. I do what I want and don't overthink anymore.

I just turned 31 and I can already tell you that my 30's are better than my 20's. I'm much more secure with myself and know what I want in life.

Much better, no worries - everything gets more comfortable, you'll feel much safer, and you'll have more fun. It's really good, way better than going from 20s to 30s, this anxiety passes and new friendships are easier to find into. It's way more carefree and find back to your fearlessness! Lots of love from 44 from Denmark

40s are SO much better! I've become very confident in myself and also much more calm. If there's a negative it's only that I wish I had this mindset in my 20s.

You look mid twenties! Still gorgeous and the food always looks delicious ❤

I was told by a coworker of mine that 40 is the best because once you hit 40 you stop truly caring about how other perceive you so you end up having a great time for yourself!

My 30’s are sucking so I hope the five last years of them will be better ❤️

[preshuswilkins]

I’m in my 20s and I can definitely say it’s an anxious time because we’re just getting started and it’s very easy to compare or fear that I’m not where I should be. I’m definitely excited to be in my 20s but it’s a beginning and I know that it’s getting easier as I’m getting older.

[blaackberry]

Im 32 my 30s have been exponentially better in these two years than the entire 10 years of my 20s 😂

Im also much more anxious and cautious but as a 30smtn I value that over my old impulsive ways.

[Desertmipha]

I turned 30 a few months ago and it’s nice to see other 30 something’s having that anxiety 😅 but I will say this, my self care and self love have improved significantly. Can’t say I had that in my 20s.

[serawasnever]

Would not go back to my 20s for a million bucks. So much freer now than I was then and with each year forward I shed old worries and thoughts that have bound my spirit. At some point I stopped feeling life was linear and began to see it as circular.

[ansika_art]

The reson I think my 30's would be better is everything would be figured out or settled down whether for the good or bad or just ok

[nataliastaruch]

I’m 26 and feel like longer i live life feels better, can’t wait for my 30s 😅❤

[ChyarasKiss]

Brain-wiser/Personality I feel the same. But body wise I’d want my 20’s-30’s. Late forties now.

[Surfaccountandfanaccount]

I skipped the fearlessness as a 20 year old. Turning 21 next month and am already settled down. I cant imagine how much calmer ill be when im 30+

[karly]

Bro this is how I been lately. I'm 32. Moved to a city here when I graduated school at 17, and now I'm newly single, hate my career and trying to figure out my next step. I don't know how I did this in my 20s.

[Klaudyacampos]

They say 40 is the top tier year because its like everything finally makes sense usually 40 is when people are making the most money theyve ever made etc etc! Im like the only person alive who cannot wait to age lol i cant wait to be 30! Im almost there!

[lillithheart]

I don’t know. I’m one month from being 20 🤣 I’ll guess I’ll see when I get there
