That one’s already come and gone lol
for me too. we’re this century’s people now
So it was destined
As someone born in 2000: No cause that day will not come.
Year 2000 is 20th century. 21st century started on January 1st, 2001.
I know this, yet I still celebrated the new century/Millenium with the rest of humanity on Jan 1st, 2000.
It’s just aesthetically more pleasing to conveniently ignore the technicality.
i don’t like that, so i will forget i ever read it
Well, technically this was still the XX century
Are you having an affair with the random computer?

32 was a birthday I looked forward to. It was the point where I had known my wife for half of my life.
For some reason, 48 didn’t seem significant.

Fuck you for making me having an existential crisis right now.
whoa interesting observation. I’m coming up on this, if I read right. Born in 76 - so 24 years before and after…
61 for me…if I can remember this
I’d be over 180.
You were born in 1910?
No, early 2000s
For me, it was the year I turned 22. At that point I was older than both parents when they had me. I realized how incompetent i was, and how little life I had lived, completely incapable of raising a human. My parents sacrificed a shit load just for me to be alive, and did their best in the time they were born into, and all the external forces at work on a young mind, and the choices at hand. I still don’t have kids lol.
I don’t know how long ago that was for you, but I hope you don’t feel like that anymore.
FWIW 22 seems awful young to be having kids.
re: 22 - totally agree, we waited another decade and I think were just barely ready even then. I have peers that had kids at 18 and they’re graduating college, that blows my mind.
My ex and I were 22 when we had ours. There’s good and bad to it
If you have the economic capacity, I’d say go for it.
Four more years… I’ll keep that in mind
My birthday a few years ago, I realized I had lived exactly half of my life before 9/11 and half after 9/11.
Then I got depressed because from that point forward, the majority of my existence would be in a post 9/11 world.
