I am 63. When I am healthy, I sure enjoy my life more than when I was younger. (In every detail from sex to work -- that's right when you get older you actually enjoy work. I love to work and sweat all day, and then take a bath and really really feel happy)

Well, when I was 23, I was very overweight, unsure of myself, very insecure, and I let people abuse me because I felt I deserved it. I was awkward around women, unemployed, and still trying to get over my childhood.
I am 38 now. I lost over 100 pounds a few years ago and have kept the weight off. I feel I am WAY more handsome now than ever, have even had old college friends tell me so. I have a job that I enjoy, make great money, bought my own home and a new car in 2006, and met someone with whom I could spend the rest of my life! I have gotten beyond my childhood, have a great relationship with my parents and brothers, feel that I have acquired a great amount of knowledge that I can share with others, and am confident in the fact that my life will just keep getting better and better!

Life just keeps getting better. And what a trip it has been! I've lived in various countries. I've done pretty much just as I want to do. I have been curious about everything and always have numerous projects that I am working on. Now I make solar ovens, desalinators and dehydrators, I garden, and I sculpt limestone. And suddenly there will be something else I'll want to do. And the more I learn, the more I want to learn.
One of the best things about getting older is that you don't make as many stupid mistakes as when you're young. You're not as naive.
One of the most important lessons I've learned was by meeting a variety of people who were looking for happiness. People who whined a lot about their job at one company rarely found happiness at another. People who were unhappy with little money rarely found happiness when they got money. Happy people are happy whereever they go, but unhappy people are unhappy no matter where they are.
And blah blah blah.

More (except for where I live right now). The kids are grown, I don't need to be constantly worried about their safety (though I probably will always to some extent). I can finally think about me--something that I could not do when I had to be a cook, referee, maid, nurse, and entertainer to my children.
Instead of helping them with their school work, I take classes at the community college--for me. Sometimes I can even afford a haircut or a new article of clothing (couldn't back then--the kids always came first). I can go on vacations--I feel as though I have just recently become a grownup.

I am older than 35, and I truly enjoy life now than I did before. Like everyone else, I have been through the trial and error stage, faced alot of hardships, but through all that I have gained wisdom and experience. I also am content, happy, self-assured, and confident. Life is like that proverbial roller coaster. Some days you're going to hit bottom, some days you'll reach the top. It all evens out for the most of us. So, yeah, life is great, and it beats the alternative.

I'm older than 35 and it depends on which day you ask me that question. Some days I'm very happy. I have more financial security than I did when I was younger but I'm more disillusioned with life. Time goes by too quickly too. My marriage was better when I was younger. It's pretty much over now, no love left. I'm alone right now but I have hope ahead. I have found love and although it's complicated, I don't regret it. These recent adjustments keep me awake but I'm hoping things will calm down soon. That detailed enough for ya?

Gaining my education was hard. I never dated or anything I just studied. When I finally married and had a daughter I thought that was the best of times. My daughter was taken and then the marriage failed. Those were the worst of times.
I suppose I have it better now. The temple full of people and my tower is full of books. I still feel empty though.
Surrounded by people and I'm still lonely.
Odd isn't it?

I feel like my life is less stressful now- I have much more money, and i can enjoy and appreciate the things I could only long for as a youth. Also, much less contact with law enforcement officials.
The girls are not as hot at this end- I liked my youth much better for that. I'm more careful, but I do find myself thinking of dying more at this age.

I used to depend a lot on alcohol and nicotine just to think I could be happy. I'm much happier breathing and being sober.
I also have a better understanding of the world and I don't take it as seriously because I have had the luck to meet a lot of smart people along the way.

I'm 51 & recently disabled (my ankle). I was depressed for about a year because of the physical activities I couldn't do, BUT, I have a good man now. He appreciates every little thing I do. (I was married twice ...11 yrs & 9 yrs ) I am happy for the things I did. I used to ski with all of my friends & my daughter & their kids. I did a lot of things others didn't do. When he retires we want to get an RV & travel our country.
