You are not a “boomer” if you aren’t in your twenties. You are not irrelevant if you aren’t in your twenties. You don’t go straight from being a kid to being “old”. Stages of life are fluid and vary for each person, and should be savored to the fullest of your means to do so.

Stop letting internet memes about age, height, and general state of being have an actual impact on your mental health. They mean nothing, and don’t benefit you in any material way.

edit 1 part 1: this is the worst comment section I’ve even seen in any Hexbear thread in all my years, except for @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net who is as always the best of us

edit 1 part 2: generationalism is also made up, don’t let people put you into boxes and further don’t put yourself into a box that someone else made up for you

    Age is just a number until you look up a condition you have and the internet is all “primarily affects middle-aged . . .” and that’s when you become old. That and realizing that they’re playing “Complicated” at the grocery store because you’re the target demographic and it’s on the oldies station meant for you and will stay there for as long as stores can play music at people.
