I’m turning 30 soon, and it’s so crazy to think that people who were born around the same time as me believe their youth is over.
I understand, but personally, I didn’t think I made it pass 18. Not in a suicidal sense either, I mean, couldn’t imagine living a life passed 18. For that reason, I’ve actually been excited to turn 30 since I was 25? 26, maybe? I don’t know why, maybe because I have two kids now, and I want to watch them grow up. Maybe it’s because a lot of people don’t mention their lives after 30 when I was growing up, like how people would talk about turning 21 and experiencing their 20’s.
I will forever respect Animorphs for tricking kids who are just really into animals to read a book series by going “Hey you, you daydream about what it’s like to be a dolphin or a bird or a wolf? Have I got a book for you!” and then slowly radicalizing them with 50+ books of “There are no winners in war. Whatever ‘victory’ you perceive comes at the cost of sacrificing your own morals and killing the part of you that is human. In the end you will resort to murder, torture and war crimes and the knowledge of what you have done will haunt you for as long as you live.”
I also respect the author for putting them all online for free
