    My cousins/bothers/sisters are in my generation.

    Can't really refer to an age, as it even amongst the above they range from late teens to early 40s, and even have a few from the family generation above and below mine, that also fall into the same age range.

    The one thats the same age as me, or my siblings, as opposed to my parents aunts and uncles the next generation up. My grandparents would be another generation above again, my children below.
    It gets more confusing though for my kids, my eldest is 18, my youngest is 8 weeks. Are they the same generation cos they're siblings?

    What I find is people try to put us down just because we get around, things they do look awful cold Yeah, I hope I die before I get old

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    The group who managed to get through their 20s just before era of the camera phone, the selfie, social media, and other attention-seeking dumbed-down nonsense.

    The group who ventured onto the Internet with a reminder not to take it too seriously and be able to laugh off/ignore the inevitable nonsense you'd encounter

    The group who would never have dreamed of sending pictures of where they were every few minutes, what they were eating, or what concert they were at

    Y'know.. that lot!

    Anybody that displays a similar smorgasbord of middle-age spread, nostalgia and curmudgeonly cynicism recieves immediate empathy.

    Ah you eventually tire of the empty, soulless sex.

    Like you enjoy the take away but you feel ugh about yourself afterwards for indulging? Yeah, like that.

    Same.

    But I find 25 year olds to be impossibly young and naïve and think 35 year olds are boring and ancient.
