This sucked btw lololol. But it's not currently as bleak as it reads.

0-10 - fun, carefree, playful
11-20 - awkward, tough, sports, fun (this is the hardest decade to describe because so much changes from 10-20)
21-30 - partying, carefree, few responsibilities, heartbreak (both parents passed)
31-40 - hard work, personal growth, friendship
41-50 - settled, joyous, pj travels
51 to now - contemplative, grateful, loving, happy

Hang in there my friend, I’ve been to some shitty shitty places…. You realize your not alone , that’s the key

i I use to try & fix shit on my own, I’m letting my guard down this year and I can’t tell you the good things that have happened 

stress/bad things will always be there … I’m handling it different

Great thread. I'm gonna sit this one out and do some observations.
When I concentrate on these decades it's mind blowing . I guess it depends on your out look and state of mind at each juncture and it also says what your learned each time that leads to the next set of years.
Really thought provoking. Good job o.p

I was but got covid in Manchester currently laid up rough so it's kind of helped relax about not worrying about a show at least.

00-10  Transitioned from bliss and happiness to awareness mixed with unhappiness.

10-20  Growing awareness, wading through horrid school years, first girl friends, first heartbreaks.

20-30  From partying days to first salaried job plus first marriage.

30-40  First divorce, second marriage, new directions.

40-50  Second divorce, major crash and burn.

50-60  Third marriage, new beginnings, stronger outlook and character.

60-70  The last of my strong years, beginning of failing health.

70-73  Hack or pack, baby.

0 - 10 Innocence, laughter, good times.

11 - 20 Evolution, confusion, some great experiences, some shit I’ve tried to forget.

21 - 30 Lost, drifting, more confusion. A decade-long relationship went to shit leaving me at my lowest point

31 - 40 New beginnings. Ran away from home, literally. Two days after I turned 30 I got on a plane for the first time in my life and flew to Australia, via Hong Kong. Met my wife-to-be 6 days later.

41 - 47 Balance. Fatherhood. Taking this adult shit more seriously. General despair at the state of the world. 

Hiraeth (a Welsh word, best explained as a longing for a home or a time that you can never return to, or maybe never was. The nostalgia, the yearning for the lost places that existed in your past which cannot be revisited now.)

Very positive for the most part, thats great!.  Mine sounded depressing so I am not doing this and I have lived a nice life.

I'm having fun still its just some events seem to overshadow others.  It's a difficult thing to write actually.

lastexitlondon

It's very difficult I thought through it and decided it would look sad but I don't keep the sad I keep the smaller better bits. So I guess the smaller are bigger!

the Human experience can be a difficult one, just remember we are all here still and regardless positive change is never impossible. Im going thru some big things lately, tough yes but I think ill come out otherside better, can only hope

gotta be nice to yourself before you can be for others

for sure.  I just thought of what the biggest impacts were in each decade and it made them seem crappy which they were not.
My point of view.  Put it this way I had a 3% chance of making it because of my youth.  I defied the odds and became something.  I will write a memoir one day.  Whether or not people read it is a different story, lol.

You & Me both...ive got a DOOZY, you wouldnt believe it if i told you. Long long time ago, Ive been working my ass off last 20 years to move on....finally decided to let go of it. It was always back of my mind, Id function but wasnt hitting my potential

life is now all about getting the most out of it, not wasting anymore time & head space for what i cant control
