I hit the big 3-0 three months ago, and honestly, I’m still figuring out how I feel about it. I’ve been stuck on one main question: what’s it really like to be 30? Since I’ve never been this age before, I can’t say for sure, and I never really thought about it until now. Honestly, turning 30 feels pretty similar to being 29.
That said, hitting 30 is a significant milestone, and it’s got me reflecting on the choices I’ve made over the last ten years and how they’ve shaped who I am today. This is my moment for some serious self-reflection, thinking about where I am now and where I want to go next. My 20s weren’t too crazy, but they definitely had their highs and lows, and I’ve learned a lot from those experiences. I know a lot of people my age have already settled into their careers and personal lives, which can feel a bit pressuring, but I’m not worried about comparing myself to others or hitting certain milestones just because I turned 30. I’m genuinely happy with where I’m at, and I feel content.
I keep reminding myself that everyone’s path is different, and there’s no right or wrong way to go through this change. It’s a chance to reassess my goals, values, and what really matters to me, to deal with past traumas, forgive myself, and accept that apology I never got. The best part is that there are endless possibilities for healing and personal growth ahead. I’m learning to appreciate the little things around me, and I’m excited to rediscover who I am, take some new risks, and create a life that feels more fulfilling and meaningful. Turning 30 is all about looking forward to the adventures that await me in the future.
