My dad is turning 36 in April, and quite a few of my friends (I’m 18, for reference) say that he doesn’t “act his age.” By that, they mean he posts a lot on Instagram (especially daily Stories where he vlogs his life, lol), he’s trendy and very open-minded, works out and takes great care of himself so he looks hot, and he’s really into nightlife and partying. He’s also very adventurous and just a fun guy in general. They don’t think it’s a bad thing at all - in fact, they think it’s cool. But it got me wondering: how is a 36-year-old supposed to act? lol


You can’t join the army, because your body aches and hurts. It’s pretty sad, but many doors close exactly at 30 years old. I watched my doors close while I was trapped surviving, unable to do anything about it. And the army was one of the things I wanted to go through (but I found that executive disfunction would make that rather hard).
