Entered 30s and Life turned out to be Great

I feel sorry when I see 30s people still lost here, ranting about their life - Stay positive, they say 40s is when life really starts before that you're just trying to figure out life!

Entered my 30s and life surprisingly turned out great.

More peace. More confidence. Better decisions. Better people around me.

Started valuing health, time, freedom, meaningful relationships, and experiences.

Built businesses, made mistakes, lost money, made it back, traveled more, learned to enjoy silence, learned when to walk away and learned that not every opportunity / individual deserves your energy.

Gym became therapy. Books became conversations. Travel became perspective.

Now I care more about building a life I genuinely enjoy waking up to.

Still ambitious. Still hungry. Just calmer, sharper, and harder to shake.

30s aren't the end of youth. They're when life finally starts making more sense.

M33.Still watching 90s cartoons like DuckTales, Swat Kats,Looney Tunes for that pure nostalgic rush.

Call me a little kid. I do not care. I’m 33 a regular guy navigating the usual corporate grind...family calls about beta shaadi kab? and the pressure to always act mature and sorted.

But here’s my little secret that keeps me sane and smiling.I still watch 90 s cartoons. DuckTales, Swat Kats the most badass toon ever made.. Johnny Quest ...Looney Tunes, Powerpuff Girls, Samurai Jack, Aladdin, Talespin, Jimmy Neutron even old Doordarshan gems like Mowgli. The moment that familiar theme music hits, that warm nostalgic rush floods in and suddenly I'm 10 years old again sitting on the floor with Maggi and zero worries.

It feels like the warmest hug to my inner child. In a world constantly telling us to grow up and be responsible choosing these simple joys is how I practice loving myself. No guilt, no “this is childish” just pure unfiltered happiness whenever I get time. Mood lifts and I return to real life feeling lighter and more creative.

Who else in their 30s secretly or openly goes back to these childhood cartoons for comfort? Whats your go to Johnny Bravo, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Powerpuff Girls or something else? Drop your favourites and let’s relive that magic together ❤️

A positive self image is all you need

What you have to remember about the past is that it literally DOESN'T exist. It exists ONLY in your mind, your memories. No more real than a daydream is. What you also have to remember is that your memories are most likely not as accurate as you think they are. They are colored by your emotions and how you were feeling and colored by your memory itself. Your mind exaggerates some things and totally forgets other things. Someone else who experienced the exact same thing as you most likely remembers it much differently. Memories are NOT accurate and CANNOT be trusted. We gain our sense of self from our memories. We decide who we are because of our memories. We write a story about our life and tell ourselves that story to form our sense of self. Because the past doesn't exist anymore and what you remember happening probably didn't happen the way you remember at all, you can rewrite it. Rewrite the story you tell about yourself to yourself. Rewrite your personal story and rewrite your past and you rewrite yourself.

Life lately

Recently got selected in pps ( state DSP ).This thing came after n number of failures in upsc,failed to make it in IPS.Life felt so unfair at tht point in life despite all the efforts things didn't materialise the way they were desired.Now can really related to Buddha's saying "Desire is the cause of suffering".

Some questions have no answers,perhaps how this life is ! And at times no matter how much hard work you put it ,destiny overrides !! Just felt like sharing.

Anyone else staring at the orange sky ?

Hey guys, look outside your window / balcony… the sky’s glowing orange (22 may 19:16 ) and it looks unreal 🌇✨
What’s everyone’s plan for the evening?

u/strawberry_sugar_hi — 22 hours ago

I woke up early and looked out of my window. Do u know what type of birds these are?

I am feeling good.
Worst case scenario: I quit my job in 6 months.
Best case: there is no best case

I woke up at 7am. Slept for 6. I think I usually need sleep 8-9 hours. I catch on sleep on the weekends.
Now I will blinkit groceries, have tea, shower and get ready for work by 9:30am.

I want to live in a cottage on the hillside with beautiful sun and lush green trees and a steam of river flowing somewhere near where the water is so clear that you can see the stones underneath. It’s glistering when the sunrays hit it. Ahh I love the sound of a calm flowing river.
I would then sip tea outside on a chair under a tree for as long as I want maybe 11am. Once the sun is above me I will go indoors, cook a full course meal and take a long shower. Eat then take a nap. Wake up and have my evening tea break with family and friends. Go for a walk. Manybe play with the cats. Then come back home dinner and rest. what a perfect life that would be.

I dream of a slow life like that. Manifesting it 💛

Oh dang I gotta blinkit groceries. Got carried away looool

Edit: I get downvotes. Shock to see a post about birds getting upvotes for no reason

What are you happy for today ?

​

Lost a friend recently and have been down ever since. Wanted to find a reason to feel a bit better. So I am asking all of you guys.

It is often said that we have to look for reasons to be happy, and I believe we need it more in today's world. So, what is it that made you smile or happy today ? It could be anything small or big. Let us share each others happiness and spread some positive vibes.

30 f looking to date

Amidst all the ambition, independence, and everything I’ve built for myself, there’s still this quiet need — to find someone with whom I can truly be myself and eventually build a life with.
I’m a 30F based in India, someone who’s quite independent, has travelled solo (both within India and internationally), and enjoys a mix of things — from café hopping, reading, and long conversations over tea… to randomly being in a new city, a little drunk, and just enjoying the moment.
I’m looking for a man in his late 20s to early 30s who is:
Open-minded
Strong-willed
Emotionally grounded
Non-smoker (non-negotiable)
Vegetarian (non-negotiable)
Lives independently , has their own place for us to hangout, I m not interested in staying in random hotels. ( non- negotiable)
I drink occasionally just being transparent
Ideally has his own vehicle ( optional)
Stays in Mumbai , cause I don’t do long distance

I don’t care about your past — that’s yours. What matters to me is whether our thoughts, values, and way of living align in the present.If you are someone who likes to ask bodycount or just beg for sending pics , stay the hell away. I don’t welcome creep energy.

I m a well earning individual who works in a reputed firm,and have worked really hard for it . And hence finally allowing myself to ask for precisely for what I want.

I love to travel a lot and explore new cafes and just be lazy ,if you just like to stay at home all the time, stay away.

I come from a Hindu/Baniya background and would ideally prefer someone from a similar space, mostly because it makes life easier for families — though I’m not rigid beyond that.

I don’t have a long checklist, but I do believe in being with someone who:
shows up
takes responsibility
and believes in protecting and standing by their partner

If this resonates with you, feel free to reach out.
If you don’t meet the basic conditions mentioned above, please don’t waste either of our time — I’m quite clear about what I want.

At 30s we are not our best looking self. Given this fact how do you find a partner you feel attracted towards?

Is there a hack? Handsome looking male at this age is rare af. And I have dated men in great shape only. What to do? I’d like to have romantic relationships too but I dont think it’s possible with someone I am not attracted to. Men have it easy they just date younger women

Edit: Whats the best mutton curry or chicken curry restaurant to order from in swiggy. Spicy one

Edit 2: Upvote if you understand my post cause although this is a 30s subs, haters are many

Edit 3: People who religiously downvote me. I am not happy with your behaviour

Mumbai- Brown Kitty up for adoption (age- I guess less than 6 months )

Hi all! 🐾

I’ve been feeding this tiny kitten for the past two days. He/she seems to be a very young stray and also appears to have a small injury. Despite everything, this little baby is super energetic, playful, and absolutely adorable. 🥺✨

Unfortunately, the other cats and dogs around the area keep bullying him/her. Yesterday, I even had to intervene when an older cat attacked this tiny baby. On top of that, there are also society members here who strongly feel that animals should be kept away, which makes it even harder for this little one to stay safe. 💔

I truly wish I could keep and look after the kitten myself, but due to frequent work travel and long hours away from home, I’m unable to provide the consistent care and safety this baby deserves.

This cutie genuinely deserves a loving home, proper care, and a chance at a happy life. If you or someone you know would like to adopt this sweetheart, please DM me. 🙏🏻

📍Location: Chembur, Mumbai

Mumbai physically changed me. Dark circle, inflammed skin, sleep issue, bad diet, stress, pot belly

All the mental stress affected my routine. My routine impacted my health and it started showing on my face. I have aged faster in 3 months here than I had in 1 year in another city.
Stress really shows up on the face.
I also overused reddit to cope and express for 5-6 weeks. I became glued to my screen. Even now I cant sit idle.

I am going to change all of this.
1 weeks away from reddit did me well. Now I think the hateful comments are just noise they dont excite me (which is good). I went back to IG started posting again without hard chasing metrics (good for me)
I will start eating well and exercising (I hope I do)
Life is hard sometimes. We get lost but make it back eventually.

I drank 1 full glass of curd, thinking it was lassi.

Funny story.

A few days back, my dad got Lassi for us to drink. He kept it in the fridge. Later that day, I opened the fridge, saw the Lassi pouch, poured myself a glass and enjoyed the Lassi.

The next day, I opened the fridge again, saw the Lassi pouch, and thought I'll have one more glass. I started taking sips, but it wasn't tasting sweet. It wasn't tasting bad, but it wasn't tasting sweet either. I was wondering what happened, the Lassi was tasting pleasant yesterday. Anyways, I still managed to empty the full glass.

The next day, my family was looking for the curd which we had. That's when they found the lassi. Apparently, there was 1 pouch of lassi and 1 pouch of curd in the fridge. I got them mixed up and had an entire full glass of Curd in one go, but it never occurred to me that it is curd.
