Last week I hit the big 3-0.
A lot of people worry about leaving their twenties and growing older.
Amazingly, I don't.
Being thirty doesn't feel any different than being twenty-nine did, and twenty-nine didn't feel any different than twenty-seven or twenty-eight.
In fact, being 'older' hasn't meant much to me since I hit 21, and even that didn't have a huge affect on me.
This decade though, is going to be different.
I have great plans for my thirties.
* Publish the wonderful stories running through my head.
* Watch, participate, and enjoy my daughter as she grows up.
* Graduate from college.
* Read amazing novels, both YA and Adult.
* Live life to the fullest and love with all of my heart.
* Take each day as it comes and know if the day didn't go the way I planned there is always another day.
* Be young at heart and always learn from the youth around me.
The people I love and hold dear to me, celebrated in my tiny home in the middle of the desert, and it was great. We played Clue, drank rum and coke, and laughed.
We laughed a lot.
That's what turning thirty is to me.
It's life.
It's experiences.
It's beautiful and wonderful.
And it's me.
I am thirty, and I am happy with that.
What age are you looking forward to or dreading? What was your favorite age? I'd love to know.

@rsEmeline is Happy to be 30. Welcome to the club, It is a GREAT run from here on out.
ReplyDeleteI'm three years into my thirties and so far I like them best of all, but that's what I thought during my twenties. I'll probably find something better about getting older for a few more decades. Seventy might be tough, though.
