I think I'm a late bloomer in some ways and not in others.
I definitely had a lot of fun and crazy times in my teens and early twenties. I then had about ten years that were a mixed bag (25-35). I was married but more like companions/pals and I did a lot of things on my own. I had fun and enjoyed friends and hobbies but I felt like I was already "old" if that makes sense. Although I have no kids by choice, when a lot of my girlfriends had children I just found myself doing solo hobbies and not going out much. My ex was a homebody and we very rarely traveled. My career during that time was a bit stuffy and formal in most ways.
At 35, I went through a bunch of changes in my career and personal life. Met a new partner (now my husband), lost weight, started traveling about 200% more. Started going to concerts and events a lot more. Found a less stressful job that allowed me to be more "me" and unashamed to have creative interests, more active politically, wilder clothing choices, etc...I kind of feel at times that I'm a weird mix between having my second adolescence in my 40s and being like a stable, secure empty nester while a lot of my peers are struggling. It's been weird. I'm very happy though so it works.5 -
It depends in what aspect. In terms of dating, not at all. In terms of partying, well, maybe.1

Hmmm I considered myself a late bloomer physically because I didn’t go through puberty until age 15.5. I also didn’t have my first kiss until 18 and up until age 25 or so, I could pass for a teenager.
I did a lot of partying in college and there were fun times but I am more happy now at age 37 than I ever was in the past. I also feel the best is yet to come.4
