Aging & Wisdom Quote by Mike Epps

"I've been with this young lady for about two years now, and my life changed. I don't even think that way no more. I feel good, too, that I'm changed. Now I feel regular. I feel like I'm supposed to"

About this Quote

Mike Epps isn’t selling romance here; he’s pitching rehab for the self. The line lands because it’s built out of the vernacular of a man who doesn’t trust big declarations. “This young lady” keeps intimacy at arm’s length, like he’s still surprised he’s allowed to talk about stability without jinxing it. The repeated “feel” does the real work: he can’t prove transformation with facts, so he measures it in body temperature and mood, in the quiet relief of waking up and not bracing for the next bad decision.

The comedy is in the phrasing, but the subtext is almost painfully sincere. “I don’t even think that way no more” is a confession about past wiring: impulses, habits, maybe the chaos that comics often mythologize as fuel. He’s not just saying he’s faithful; he’s saying his internal operating system has been rewritten. That’s why “I feel good, too, that I’m changed” matters. He anticipates the suspicion that change equals domestication, that it’s a loss. He insists it’s a gain.

“Now I feel regular” is the sharpest cultural tell. In celebrity culture, “regular” is supposed to be an insult, the thing you escape. Epps flips it into a fantasy: normalcy as luxury, not limitation. “I feel like I’m supposed to” hits like a late-arriving sense of adulthood, a man realizing that peace can be an achievement, not a personality defect.
