Carey Mulligan: "It's terrifying!" when she realizes she's not in her 20s anymore
Carey Mulligan jokes it's 'terrifying' when she realizes she's not in her 20s anymore https://t.co/3pMNbzHw4V

"The thing I more identified with [her character in Wildlife, a 1960s mother and Jake Gyllenhaal's wife] was the idea that my 20s have gone. I'm not 20 anymore. And you hear a song that you listened to when you broke up with boyfriend when you were 18, you hear that now and think, 'What, I'm a grownup?! How did that happen?!' I'm a proper grownup. It's terrifying! [laughs]"
Carey Mulligan is 33 years young; a Best Actress BAFTA winner; an Oscar, SAG, and Golden Globe nominee; and a mother of two kids with the lead singer of Mumford & Sons.

Teens and twenties were kinda miserable tbh
i.e. yesterday i got on the bus to work:
driver: "do you work at that school?" (that she drops me off at)
me: "yep!"
her: "oh god bless you, that must be so hard"
me: "it is, but kids are so much better to work around than adults, also i don't have any of my own, so -"
her: "- OH i was gonna say, i loved kids before, but then i had them, and it's like..."
me: "i got you! i'm good! i got the kiddos, love em, but at 4 o clock they go back"
the whole time she was chuckling/it was very good-natured & sweet. that's just one example of how non-fucks-given my 30s are so far - people who have done what is expected (getting married, having kids, having a set degree-based job) are now rethinking it, & there's a lot of deep/shallow-seated regret.
TL; DR - timelines are crap
I'm thinking about joining the military for the structure, that's how off I feel.
Just make sure you really want to do it because it's not too easy to get out and you have to dedicate time to it.
don't drink that kool aid girl
33 isn't that old tho
Football too, bring back crop tops plis

read the book 'surviving saturns return'
I'm fucking dreading it.
I met my best friend when she was going through hers and she was a MESS and my relationship has been hangin on by a thread so I'm just waiting for the free fall
I find astrology to be a passing curiosity, but my life upended when I turned 29 so I’m tempted to make empty connections, haha
You're going to learn quickly that all the fun things you could do in your 20's . . . you'll pay for it in your 30's. Like drink wine. . . eat pizza or try to lose weight.
As for the breakup, wine and chocolate. Rinse and repeat.
It feels like it's the same for most GenY/millenials in western countries because home ownership is becoming less likely, career stagnation is huge because boomers arent retiring as young, so there's heaps of arrested development and people trying to save for homes or weddings.
I definitely feel the pressure but I am way better than I was prior to say..25. The only thing I need is more stability in my job and then I will be ok.
(still trying to figure out where that saying is from, but fuck it's so true)
I just wanna travel and have flings with beautiful men from foreign countries and visit art galleries all over Europe. Sigh
