Don't Like - Gossip In Your 30s
Gossip is fun when you’re young. It’s all about who is dating who, what the friendship drama is, and something salacious about someone you don’t and will never know. It’s really quite something, and in almost all cases it’s relatively light and harmless. The kind of stuff that builds character, so to speak. But that changes as you get older, which reflects the nature of being an independent and mature adult. No one is talking about who kissed who at a party anymore. Chances are people aren’t just breaking up either. When you’re in your thirties, break ups tend to mean either ending serious, long-term relationships or, worse, divorce.1 Likewise, if you hear that someone is doing lots of drugs or drinking too much, it isn’t as easy to chalk that up to a phase because those are supposed to pass. For those reasons and others, gossiping doesn’t feel as fun anymore. Too often, the news that comes in isn’t so much exciting as it is sad or depressing. Things are supposed to start working out about now, right?
Whether or not divorce is necessarily a bad thing is up for debate but no matter what there is a bunch of paperwork involved.
