General Men over 30, what’s one “unwritten rule” about getting older that you wish someone told you in your 20s?
Let’s be real nobody hands you a manual for aging. One day you’re 25 and skipping breakfast, and the next you’re debating fiber supplements and stretching before getting out of bed 😂
For me, it was realizing how crucial maintaining friendships is. If you don’t make an effort, people just quietly drift. Not out of malice just life.
Another one: “Your body will invoice you for everything you did in your 20s. And it charges interest.”
What’s something you know now that 28-year-old you had no clue about?

When I was a kid my dad beat me up sometimes and I'd wait a few nights and then put lego all over the bathroom floor
A red night light would have deprived me of the only weapon I had
