Yeah, for sure. I'm 53 now but I remember pushing into my thirties and feeling like something inside of me was starting to be lost to the past: connections to old friends, feelings of acceptance by people perhaps, feelings towards a sense of family beginning to change. Other things too. Yes, the tiredness then the sadness and also loneliness(?) can, to me, make a 30+ person - especially if they are a 'thinker' - 'pine' for the past. Sure. I know it well tbh, and this is twenty odd years down the track from age 30.

So those are some of my own little insights.
