Although I'm in no way "afraid" of aging, and am NOT going to do the
ridiculous thing many (women, especially) do of turning "29 again" for
years... I'm not really looking FORWARD to turning
30 on Saturday.
Somewhere in my head is the feeling that I've got to be a "real" adult
now, or "grow up", or... maybe that I don't have an excuse for making
stupid mistakes and bad decisions anymore because I'm no longer a
20-something. It feels like a major
transition for me somehow.
Maybe it's the feeling that I should have done more with my life by now,
or been further along with things. Some of that is upbringing, that I
should be a doctor or a lawyer by now, not a college dropout, or the
idea that being a 20-something with no degree is "ok", but being *30*
without one is somehow shameful.
Any words of
wisdom,
advice,
blessing, or
encouragement,
oh internets?
