Eyes Up

So she asked me if that's something my partner and I do or what my trick is for a good relationship, and all I said was "Well we don't have sex because I'm not into that, but we also have spent a lot of time working on communication and navigating issues without a blow up so we don't have fights or arguments, I think it'd be a good idea to sit down with him when things are calm and see if you can have an adult conversation about where the conflicts keep coming up and start with that"

the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years

taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult

at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)

'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65

it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age

it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.

you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.

young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!
