My dad is turning 36 in April, and quite a few of my friends (I’m 18, for reference) say that he doesn’t “act his age.” By that, they mean he posts a lot on Instagram (especially daily Stories where he vlogs his life, lol), he’s trendy and very open-minded, works out and takes great care of himself so he looks hot, and he’s really into nightlife and partying. He’s also very adventurous and just a fun guy in general. They don’t think it’s a bad thing at all - in fact, they think it’s cool. But it got me wondering: how is a 36-year-old supposed to act? lol
Honey, at your age I thought 35 was old. At 35 now, it’s really just a matter of perspective. You’re dad isn’t old, he just ain’t young. I still go out to raves and party, just not as often as I did in my twenties and I like to have a Disco nap before heading out to the rave that opens at midnight til the morning.
How is a 36 year old supposed to act? Well, we define that by being in our mid thirties and acting how we want. You’re doing the same at 18, defining how 18 year olds act.
Don’t sweat how you’re “supposed to be”, just take care of yourself and do what ya need to do to be healthy and happy.
