the dirty...
tomorrow, i turn 30.
i said it.
i didn't think it was going to be that big of a deal for me, but twice today i kind of panicked thinking about it. i don't know what about that number scares me, or if folks around me are making such a deal about that i end up feeling like i should be more apprehensive about it than i am.
i think for me, the end of my 20s signifies growing up more so than any other number has. like, once you reach this b-i-g number you're supposed to have everything figured out, personally and professionally. and i'm working on both of those things currently, and having success with both of them.
what i can say is this: i am healthier than i was a year ago, i weigh less than i did a year ago, i am overall happier than i was a year ago, and i am prouder of myself than i was a year ago.
here's to aging gracefully.
Happy Birthday! I completely understand how you feel. It won't be long before I reach that mark myself, and I hadn't really thought much of it until everyone started making a big deal out of it. But I'm feeling defiant against the hype, because in the end, a number is just a number. We all grow and figure things out one day at a time, one year at a time. A birthday is a time to celebrate our accomplishments and look forward to all the good things to come, so I hope you'll have a great time with your loved ones.
