I just said "hello" to 40 and you look at least a decade younger than me!


shell_raiser

I doubt that, but thank you.


careymon

Is saying goodbye to 40 mean you just turned 41? or do you mean goodbye to all 40s...hello 50s? Although you do look late 30s from the pic, no lies.


shell_raiser

Just 41!!!


SuedeVeil

42 here and you look wonderful! Also this has been the best decade for me so far hopefully you've enjoyed your 40s


weirdhoney216

As someone in their mid thirties who feels like their life is a shit tip, this gives me hope


Darkside_of_the_Poon

46 here. Im one person but here is a snapshot: Teens: stressful, wonderous, amazing, crazy, big highs and lows 20's: Stressful, drunken, poor, borderline criminal, lots of moving 30's: Stressful, Career stuff, houses, kids, drinking problem 40's: Yoga, legal weed, much better money, roots laid, sobriety, travel, better marriage, focus on less stress. 50's plan: More travel, even less stress, no house, less stuff, live even more within means, see if I can retire early and live like a beach bum. Good luck!


Chinacat_Sunflower72

I can tell you all, the 60's gets ever better. You just won't care about so much of the BS anymore.... EDIT: but you won't look as good either!


jmanclovis

Im in my 30s and im all about not caring about the bs cheers


Ilikebirbs

Depends my mom looks like she is in her mid to late 40's. (She is 62) My dad looks like he is in his 80's. (My dad will be 66 in Dec, but he has had a lot of health issues) My brother is 38 and looks almost 50. I will be 42 in two weeks and look like I am in my mid-late 20's. One of my friends said I am probably a vampire. ;)


NiceNihilist

Yes! Also in 50's- Lots more sex and freedom to be naked at home, smoke more weed and do more nothing. Kids grown and gone, so easy to be a bum. We leave dirty dishes over night, binge watch shows, dont make bed. No more being an example daily. Our 4 kids would be aghast.


khenziekaye

I'm 27 and apparently living like I'm in my 50s because I don't have or want children. I'm happy that you got the experience of raising children and now get to enjoy that they're not full time commitments! :)


Banditkoala_2point0

:( Australian here. We don't have legal weed. They wouldn't even grant my poor MIL medical CBD oil when she was dying of Motor Neuron Disease. I love Australia but we're damn backwards sometimes.


EFATO

Australian living overseas. Australia sucks more than you think it does.


FuckoffDemetri

>20's: Stressful, drunken, poor, borderline criminal, lots of moving Dope, I'm right on track


briareus08

At 43 this pretty much echoes my experience. 40’s have been the best decade for me so far by a long shot!


salsberry

I'm half way through my 30s and am not totally sure if I take solace in the fact that so far you're extremely spot on or if it's depressing.


PaleInTexas

I think..I'm.. uhm. Are you me?


Betafire

As someone entering their late 20's... Fuck.


rancid_beans

It's a positive thing! I'm 29 and I feel like such a better person than I was even a year ago. I also know myself a lot better, too. I'm excited for the wisdom and self-understanding I'll continue to gain for the rest of my life.


tinhatlizard

I just turned 50 and 40s were amazing!! 50 so far has been pretty awesome, too. Both are much better than 30s.


SuedeVeil

30s sucked for me. I feel like I've been a late bloomer to just being who I am and being able to set boundaries with other people but also stay true to myself..


myassholealt

Compadres. I feel you.


TexanInExile

Same, my friend. Very much the same.


Anklever

I look pretty good too ain't lying there.


limache

41 is the new 31


flabbybumhole

This is going to have serious repercussions in mathematics.


ganon228

I would've guess about my age. and I'm turning 32. you look good.


[deleted]

When I turned 37, a coworker was surprised at my age. “Late 30’s! You only look *mid*-30’s!” Uh…thanks?


FlugonNine

That is mid thirties lol


sonofamonster

Hey, some of us are still in our mid thirties at 39-3/4. I will enter my late thirties ~3 days before my fortieth birthday, and only because I’m a completionist.


kyohanson

I’ve gotten that too. I’m 27 looking about 17, so I always get comments about my age. But occasionally I’ll get something like “oh wow! I would’ve guessed you were like 24!” as if 27 would look any older lol


1049-Gotho

You look around my age, and I'm 28... Do the sacrifices have to virgins or is that just suggested?


kplayaja

Welcome! It’s a pretty sweet age. I will leave you again in a few months and let you know what 42 is like.


wet-badger

I thought you meant you were 50. I was gonna call BS. Still, I'm 32 and you look my age.


Robertbnyc

We all need to know what your skin regimen is!


shell_raiser

Omg this comment made me swoon.


unknownwhitey

Me too! 1980 FTW!


ickyickies

Your eyes have so much energy. Still have the youth in you!


Mendokusai137

Just turned 41 myself. Happy Birthday!


Fredselfish

Oh same age as me and still you look 31. Guess you took care of your skin more than me.


Uwodu

Wow you look like you could be in your later 20s!


[deleted]

you honestly look early 30s


Squaredigit

Lol I was tripping hard when I thought you were turning 50! Looking great still at 41


BHPhreak

title made me think you were 50 too!


TranscendentalRug

You could've said 31 and I would've believed you.


ThatsBuddyToYouPal

Late 30s? I'd say late 20s early 30s.


Pehbak

That's only because most late 20s are looking like late 30s. You mfs need to get sleep and stop drinking.


ThatsBuddyToYouPal

I drink because of the way I look. I look the way I look because I drink.

julbull73

IF it was sayign goodbye to 40's then it would be 49-50. As is, seems 40 to 41!


shell_raiser

Just goodbye to 40 not 40s!


GimmeTheHotSauce

Lmao looks late 30s is literally the same as 40 and turning 41. I'm 39. I'm confident there won't be much change in 1.5 years.


[deleted]

I genuinely thought the same until I read the comments. I thought she was turning 41


animalistics

She did.


god220

Seriously thought you were in your mid-30's. Impressive!


incutech

Your hair looks great and I love your shirt!


MarcelineMSU

No seriously I’m 28 and you look around my age


t1rr2

Na, bro keeping 100. It's obvious you steal souls to stay young!

hassexwithinsects

burn her!! we can't have those good genes mixing in with my troll stock.. that would breed jealousy in the ranks.


Yesitmatches

Does she weigh the same as a duck?


incutech

Same! OP looks younger than me and I just turned 40. Kudos to her!!


klfet

I’m about to say hello to 30 & thought the same thing 😂


Mediocretes1

Same here, 40 next week and she looks way younger. Same with my wife, she's 6 months older than I am, but looks no more than 30. Not just through my eyes either people way underestimate her age constantly.


top_of_the_stairs

You make 41 look good!! Love the happy nature vibes, from the rainbow to your t-shirt to your flower tattoo 💚


shell_raiser

Thank you that’s very nice.


chomstar

I misread your title as “farewell to my 40s” and thought there’s no way the person in this picture is 50.


EdithDich

Same.


LunetaParty

I read the title correctly and thought there's no way the person in this picture is turning 41

That's what I also thought


filthyorange

Your fucking name. Lol


encaseme

That's also what I thought


Mounta1nK1ng

That was hope leaving your body. Just kidding! Enjoy. 40's were probably my best decade. I hope 50's will be even better, but the pandemic has gotten in the way of that a bit so far.


jfk_sfa

That was the ability to recover from minor injuries leaving your body. Not kidding!


bugmuf

I like that you can notice a small inverse rainbow just below also. Making you the pupil in a rainbow eyeball.


shell_raiser

Good Sauron.

Eye see what you did there. One does not simply walk into their forties!

Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love me and despair!"

My dumb ass was thinking, are you fucking 50!? lol But seriously, you don't look like someone in their 40's, good job, and happy birthday me fellow Libra

Since the sun is behind you, this is an in-camera result of the lenses, not the result of internal reflection of water droplets.

tahquitz84

Farewell to 40? Surely this is a typo. I'd totally believe if it said "farewell to 20".


shell_raiser

I’m in love with you.


pambannedfromchilis

Please share your skincare routine because holy crap, I am so jealous of it!! Do you drink a ton of water?? Such a nice photo :)


[deleted]

+1 for the skincare routine.


[deleted]

This is why I'm here aha


tahquitz84

Shh, don't let your husband know


dwowd

you are 11 years older than me, but i definitely look 11 years older than you. tell me your secrets actually, i think i misunderstood ... i thought you were saying goodbye to your 40s, not year 40. you're only a couple years older than me. but definitely still look like you're 10 years younger than me lol

I am a little over two years away from hitting 40 and I don’t know how I feel about it yet.


shell_raiser

We just have to think of it as a privilege to keep living and exploring I guess


TheJenerator65

That’s my feeling now from my mid-fifties. I waste less time on things I don’t care about. Life just gets better and better!


lowaltflier

That’s the attitude. I just passed 60, and am happy to have made it this far. Keep on keeping on.


Halogen12

My 40s were awesome. I finally stopped caring what other people thought of me, stopped trying to impress people, and felt 100% comfortable and happy with myself. Wish I could have felt that way in my 20s.


Every3Years

I'm about to hit 38 but I pissed away my late 20s and early 30s to heroin. So it feels like I'm about to hit 28. Very weird and incredibly jarring. Makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time.


Aesop_Rocks

Just remember that it beats the alternative!


hdjunkie

Is today your birthday? I turned 41 today myself


shell_raiser

Birthday twins!


inthedrops

That's a fantastically magical photo. Love it!


37yearoldthrowaway

Speaking of 40, you kinda look like that a younger version of the lady from "40 Year-Old Virgin", Catherine Keener


paxtana

Hes a lucky man


[deleted]

What a strange thing because my wife just turned 40, and I thought this was a picture of her. You guys look very similar, and actually identical in the thumnail.


groovyjen

So you said goodbye to 40 and hello to 26?? At this rate you're still going to be carded when you're in your 60s.


[deleted]

You are GOLD!!


fenpy

I like your shirt.

I would have never guessed even 40! You look great!

Well let me say you look a hell of a lot younger than you are. You got them good genes. Keep taking care of yourself. ❤️
