Hay just think you're a white male in the UK with a job and roof over your head.

How more lucky do you want to be.

Social standing plays a large part in happiness - just because people on the other side of the world may be worse off it doesn't change the fact that being worse off (in terms of quality of life) compared to the people around you is very detrimental to an individual's mental health.

People who live in misery due to having no food are not suddenly made happy by the fact they have running water, neither are victims of abuse thankful of having a room - or any other western novelty.

Blah blah blah, 30 isn't what it used to be. You're still in your prime and you can be a complete and utter boss even at 50+.

Arnie was 40 in Predator and 44 in terminator 2. If you aren't inspired by how awesome it's possible for men to be in their 40s and beyond then you're a lost cause - might aswell dig your grave now old man.

I'm 30 in March (25th) and it doesn't bother me in the slightest.

I've not felt "young" for years.

I'm 36 and so much more comfortable with myself than in my twenties.

I spent so long trying to become someone, now I know who I am. A nobody

I will be 30 in December and it has never bothered me. Too many think when you hit 30, that's it. If you have time to worry about turning 30 then you are not doing enough in your life during your twenties.
