So I turned 35 today. Being one year closer to death always kind of freaks me out, because life always seems so absurdly short, but I like my 30s.
25 year old me worked in a factory and had no college degree. 35 year old me has a doctorate and an awesome job. 25 year old me was dating my H, 35 year old me is married to him. This leads to more farting in communal areas and less romance, so I am going to have to give that point to 25 year old me. But still, 35 year old me is pretty happy with the decision.
25 year old me was way hotter, firmer, perkier, and thinner. 35 year old me could kick that soft bitch's ass. 35 year old me can run 10 motherfucking miles. Point to 35 year old me.
35 year old me is also better at disguising her flaws with clothing, makeup (kinda), and doing her hair. She is also more interesting and has better hobbies.
35 year old me definitely gets the win here, but I would trade boobs with 25 year old me in a hot second.
Happy birthday! I am also 35. Welcome to the club. WAaaaaaaay better than 25 any day! I'm acutally thinner now than 25, I also smoked cigarettes back then and just 3 months ago I completed my 3rd half ironman, so yeah, 35 has been wonderful!
This is a great post. My favorite part is the education gap between 25 and 35. I've thought about going back to school but feel sort of hopeless about it. You give me hope, Doc!

You just need to really want it, and it helps to have a good support system. You can do it.
I love this. It made me realize that I'm also so much better at 35. At 25 I was engaged to a jerk who didn't love me, I was overweight, worked 70 hours a week and drank a lot and smoked a lot of weed. 35 yo me is so much more awesome.
Yay for 35! (I almost convinced myself there for a second, lol)
