Oh I would love to see that, you just randomly messaging me when im 29. I would most likely forget all about it and be confused as hell

Maybe I’ll still hit you with it anyways, just so you can be like who is this strange fucking grandpa calling me old. 

You’re almost thirty? Jeez Grandpa. Kidding, kidding.. there’s literally no way you can almost be thirty. Drop the skin care routine, king. I’ve literally been walking around my house for the past two weeks randomly yelling “Vanessssaaa” because of you and it’s starting to scare my dog. Hi Anthony, I’m Sabrina and if you go around telling everyone you are 25 I promise not to rat you out. 

It’s called soap, and moisturizer when/if I remember. I know. I should literally start a beauty and lifestyle blog. Yesss. I love it. I mean I don’t love that your dog is scared. Nice to meet you, Sabrina. You’re a real one. If any one tries to argue with you, just hit them with the whole skin thing. Maybe it will sound like facts. 

Some of it is totally random too, 2am I think something and all of a sudden it’s on my for you page, like damn get out of my mind, the algorithm is real. The thing is though, I’m way too busy to try and make it on TikTok, I might have to do one of those dances, kidding - fuck that. I’m alright, just got back home after a year of filming, yourself?

Oh yeah. I don’t know whether to be impressed or freaked the fuck out by the algorithm. Like good for them for totally figuring me out, but like how??? I think you trying one of those dances would almost certainly take off. I say you get better chances at TikTok stardom the more goofy and unimpressive it is. So it’s not even like you gotta’ put in a bunch of work. I’m great. Just coming off a high of a movie and album release. You know cloud nine shit.

You’re part of literally a historical phenomenon, hamilton and everything that it was is something that is engrained into history unlike nearly anything. That’s a level of talent and acknowledgement that is unreal. That’s more than a grammy, an oscar. Hell yeah i’m down but no shots, i’ll be drinking non alcoholic beer. There’s no way my 80 year old body is going to feel great with a hangover. 

Man, you about to make me tear up over here. You better cut it out before I turn on the water works. We can do shots of prune juice. The sugar at that age will hype us right up, and the prunes will keep our digestive systems regular. What better way to celebrate a birthday?

You’ve got good genes! You’ll be one of those people looking 30 whenever you’re 50, so take plenty of pride in that. I feel like it’d be some kinda..secret thing. Like, we’ll know whenever it happens or something like that. I’m counting on you here! Can’t go letting me down.

If that’s the case I don’t have too much to be worried about, but I can’t be so sure you’re right. Okay, but what is there is an awakening, but it’s a super lame one. Like you just wake up on your thirtieth birthday and suddenly enjoy sugarless cereal. I can already feel myself getting there. Yo, the thought makes me shudder.

I hit 30 last year and I’m not basically living like an old man. Granted, I was doing the same in my twenties, too, but now I’m even worse. Hi Anthony, I’m Jack.

Okay, but serious question. Did it hurt?? Nice to meet you, Jack!

Mate, age really is just a number! You’re really just as young as you feel so whenever you turn thirty but you still feel like you’re in your twenties, just roll with it. I’ve been seeing my face float around TikTok a lot more than usual lately, or at least that’s what my friends tell me who actually have the app. I don’t do the whole thing myself. Pleasure to meet you Anthony. ‘M Rob.

Nahhhhh. Don’t tell me that, ‘cause some days I’ll be fallin’ asleep on the couch at like 8pm feeling like an 80 year old. Hey man, at least you’ve reached phase two in becoming immortalized. We’re already actors, now we’re all over TikTok. Only way we could do better is like paint a really dope painting or something. Nice to meet you, Rob.

Getting older is not bad. Yes, I did cry a little when I turned thirty but it’s okay. There’s still so much time ahead of us! So much things to do and learn.

I will almost certainly have a little cry. But I’m pretty sure that will be the worst of it. After that the only choice is to get over it. 

Oh gosh sweetie don’t worry wierd as it sounds as soon as you hit thiry it’s almost liberating, i don’t know how to discribe it but the dread goes and you feel like it’s a kind of rebirth and new chapter i’ve been enjoying my 30′s even more than my 20′s. Is being one of the kids really what you want though? 

Okay, you’ve really given this a positive spin. New chapter, and new beginning makes it sound exciting instead of scary. Nice work. You might have a second calling as a therapist or life coach. Fair enough. Maybe not one of the kids, but I definitely don’t want to be looked at like I looked at old people in my teens.

I loved the movie by the way. I watched it when it first came out, and was dancing around. Musicals have a special place in my heart, and we need to have more come out. Maybe I need to make an account and be on there more.

Awesome! So glad you liked it! Same here. If more musicals came out I think the majority of us would be much happier. Except the crabby ass musical haters, which I most certainly cannot relate to. Definitely. It can be pretty fun!

Tiktok loves you right now, it’s a little scary how quickly that sound blew up. Even I had to chime in and give the trend a try. Kids on tiktok call me old so you’d be absolutely ancient man. Sorry not sorry! 

What can I say. This is a face only the internet addicted youths of the world could love. Or I guess a voice considering I’m not sure it’s my face they care about. Yours has definitely been the most effort. Forreal? You old? Yeah, I’m fucking done for then. Might as well start writing my will. ‘Cause my ass is already one foot in the grave. 

You look not like you are almost thirty, People always say how i look so much older than my age. I don’t know if that is a compliment or not, haha. Hello Anthony I am Victoria

I appreciate it. I’d say mature for your age is a compliment, but old for your age is rude. So I guess it depends on the delivery, ha. Nice to meet you, Victoria.

Oh god, don’t even remind me. I’ll be thirty in October. I honestly don’t think about it most of the time until something reminds me and I’m shook all over again. So thanks for that. It’s a bit mad to think I’m in the last few months of my twenties. It’s been a wild ride, that’s for sure. I’m not really scared or freaking out about it though. Check back in a couple months though, that could change. Lovely to meet you, Anthony. I’m Leigh-Anne. And don’t worry, we’ll be alright.

You’ll be hitting it a month before me. So you can let me know if it hurts. My b, for being the reminder this time. We 29′s have to stick together. It’s dark times out here. Nice to meet you too! I agree... at least until we’re forty.

You become viral in everything, my man. Just mad that In the Heights is a movie and I can’t be the one to replace you this time! Not sure I could pull off Usnavi though, you got that swagger. You get old though, my guy. I’ll try not to remind you too much.

Right place, right time sort of magic, my dude. I think it’s my turn to replace you this time, right? We should just spend a lifetime taking turns picking the project. I think I’d make a pretty dope Evan Hansen. Don’t forget you aren’t too far behind. I’ll be waiting in the future to remind you. 

That’s a few years out for me so full on outta sight, outta mind. You just gotta remember that it’s all about that young mindset. You got that and it don’t matter how old you actually are or at least that’s what I’m gonna be tellin’ myself as I get closer to all that. Nice to meet you though. I’m Kehlani. 

Alright, alright. I mean I feel like I got a pretty youthful mindset, but I do have a confession. I start getting really sleepy at like 8pm at night. And that might be the most grandad shit ever. I have no power over it either. Nice to meet you, Kehlani. 

Bro, I fucking felt that. I got one more year before I officially turn thirty and I am honestly dreading it. Becoming a viral TikTok sound is like… Making it big time, right? I mean, I wouldn’t know, I barely know how to work the damn thing. But I’d say you have, so go you! Pleasure to meet you, Anthony. Wait, sorry—I meant, the guy still in his twenties. I’m Nick!

There’s power in experiencing dread together right? TikTok viral is like the modern Oscar. I don’t know if I could aspire to more. Just because the sound went viral does not at all mean I can use it, but maybe if I learned I wouldn’t be near as worried about getting old. Every time I get on there it makes me feel like my old man trying to use Facebook. Nice to meet you, Nick.
