The turning older crisis

Many freak out when they're seeing their first gray hair or when they turn 30. I never related to that feeling. I wonder why. I'm fine getting older. I think for me it's freedom and opportunity feelings associated with aging.

I like to learn more, to get more experienced and wiser, I like the mentor role and I don't really miss being young. For me being young was chaotic and sad and I had no protection. As adult I got my own back. I'm able to keep me safe and happy.

I also know myself inside out today, which makes life easier. I can still suprise myself , that will never stop no matter how old I get. But I'm grounded in a way I never could as a teen , not even in my twenties.

I like the grounded solid foundation me. And I like the possibilities it leads to.

I'll be 30 next April and I feel the same way about it as you have described.

I'm only beginning to really hit my stride in life. My teenage years and twenties were largely dangerous and terrifying. Now I feel more sure of myself and I have more wisdom from experience. Life can be a wonderful thing
