Each stage of your life is special in its own way. Childhood is full of endless wonder and curiosity. Teen years are all about carelessness and freedom. Twenties are the introduction to adulthood. And thirties – thirties is when all the dust settles and people have the confidence to just be themselves. Well, at least that’s the poetic way of describing it.

Twitter users, however, don’t beat around the bush when telling what it really means to live after you’ve hit your thirties and, unfortunately, it’s not all rainbows and unicorns. It’s more along the lines of uneventful weekends, exciting pragmatism, and other similar paradoxes that are painfully accurate.

Scroll down to read the tweets and tell us in the comments which one you relate to the most.
