Vent: Hit 500 logged dives this week and it feels weird

Honestly, I remember when hitting 100 felt like a huge deal back in the Gulf. This one made me realize how much time I've spent just... down there. Anyone else get that weird feeling when you pass a big personal number?

Read somewhere that big round numbers can make you feel old, even when it's a good thing.

@alicec86 that "big round numbers" thing is painfully accurate - it's like your brain instantly slaps a label on you the moment you hit that zero. I swear I felt my knees creak on cue the second I turned 30, even though I'd been fine the day before. The universe must have a special sense of humor for these milestone birthdays.

Yeah, that hits different when you hit a milestone birthday like 40. It's not just a number, it feels like a whole new category you're being put into. Like you're officially in the "middle aged" box now, even if you don't feel it. Makes you look back at all the time gone by in a way smaller numbers don't.
