I just turned 31 last week and I have been reading thru some of the "teen angst" threads that are here. I almost forgot the pain and emotional transitions associated with young age, and I realize how much I enjoy being older and more self confident now. Gone is the self-hatred I felt as a teen and tween. I realize most every problem can be solved, and very little in lfe equals the end of the world. It's like I'm watching myself grow up, now that I have the experience to see my changes.

For those who are in my age group or older, are you glad be to be older now? Is getting older a blessing to you as well, or something that is showing your inevitable mortality?
