I don’t know, I’m more and more satisfied with life the older I get
Yeah other than my country falling apart my life is better at 39 than pretty much ever before. I’m genuinely happy. Again, other than the country stuff.
I damn sure wasn’t happy and confident like this at 18 or whatever. I’m hitting my stride.
I still remember being told that in high school, and at 35 I can say with reasonable confidence that it was in fact the worst part of my life, not the best. Fuck you Mr. Ford, you were wrong, and you were an asshole, and if I can ever be arsed to locate your grave, I’ll piss on it.
Well look on the bright side…there’s probably a bright side!
I was less impressed when I learned that all the actors in that scene were on bicycle seats. But then I was more impressed when I learned they only had one ladder to let them down to take a pee.
Another fun Life of Brian fact: the production re-used the Tunisian sets built for Zeffirelli’s Jesus of Nazareth television series. Zeffirelli was furious that the Tunisian authorities allowed this; he apparently did not know how money works.
Brightside is life expectancy is on a downward trend!
I can’t remember which movie, but some basic rom-com. Girl was in a fight with her ex and trying to make him feel bad said, “I gave you the best years of my life.”
And dude, utterly confused, responds, “those were your best?”
The movie was forgettable, but that absolutely savage line stuck with me.
Kate: I wasted the best years of my life on you.
Stuart: Those were your best years?
My experience is the opposite. Adolescence was horrible, young adulthood was hard, adulthood has been better. I am taking care of myself and I am happy with my relationships.
I’m glad things have improved for you and that you are doing well.
That’s just shit people say, because their memory is skewed to remember some stuff.
After drinking that much lead you won’t remember anything better
The whole “high school is the best years of your life” thing was always total bullshit. The drugs are much better in college.
Fuck all the adults who say this to kids with less privileged childhoods.
How i felt when i was told nobody would love me more than my parents.
I’ve never really had much of a family. The whole family bond thing seems like a farce. I love my parents because they were good parents, not simply because they were my parents.
No, it will get so much better. And so, so, so much worse. Sometimes in the course of like an hour.
Nah dawg 30s is where it’s at so far. (I’m 30s)
Yeah the people who say that tell boring stories of glory days.
I think this is just a saying that lost its meaning. Youth is the time you don’t have to worry about much and you can live without regrets because most of your decisions don’t have real consequences (aside from the obvious ones).
Obviously to young people they don’t see it that way. In hindsight I could have done a lot more as a kid but I didn’t for fear of whatever the hell I was afraid of. Definitely not the best years though.
