I was kinda different, but I was super excited to turn 30. I looked forward to it for years. I just never looked at being in your 20s as being an actual adult and I thought when I turned 30, I'd have a little more "age related authority". I actually love my 30s. In my case, in this stage of my life I make better money, I have more freedom, I am more self assured... Just things that had to come with time.
It sounds cliche, but every year really is a gift that isn't promised and not received by all. Just enjoy!

Just turned 30. Not married. No kids. Still young. I felt no different from 29 to 30

What happens between 11:59pm and 12am for your birthday? You're still the same person, you still look the same, so what is the problem?
ElizabethBabe1994 · 31-35, F
@goagainsttheflow Dude...30! 30 is 20 years away from being 50!!!
I'm not looking forward to my 30th birthday. You're no longer a young person.

No reason to dread it, it's just another year.
ElizabethBabe1994 · 31-35, F
@QuixoticSoul Well not everyone is excited to turn 30.
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@ElizabethBabe1994 There really isn't a reason to get excited about any birthday after 21. But no reason to get hung up on the numbers either. I remember being 30. It was a whole lot like being 29. And 31.

Loved turning 30. It was a new independence 20s didn't have.

30 is still fairly young and you will still be called young lady/young woman from time to time, believe me. I was referred to as that until the age of 35, hahaha.
ElizabethBabe1994 · 31-35, F
@latinbutterfly Oh. So 35 is old

35 is on your way to your 40’s @ElizabethBabe1994
30 was terrifying for me, turn around and run while you still have the chance!
@juiceyangel333 Yes that would not be good. Just back to 19 for me would be ideal! Way too much fun with zero responsibility.
juiceyangel333 · 31-35, F
@CruiserCruiserCruiser yeah but I would go back to about the age of 13
ElizabethBabe1994 · 31-35, F
@CruiserCruiserCruiser Right? Being an adult sucks? I don't know why kids wanna grow up so fast. Stay kids!

Nobody is
ElizabethBabe1994 · 31-35, F
@SW-User Exactly! Why would anybody be excited about turning 30?!
Anonymouslyyours86 · 36-40, F
It’s just a number
caccoon · 36-40
30 is not old. XD I like my 30s way better than my 20s in a lot of ways.
ElizabethBabe1994 · 31-35, F
@caccoon Why do people keep saying they like their 30s better than 20s? I rather stay in my 20s than turn 30!

What’s the big deal lol who cares if you’re no longer young? 😂
ElizabethBabe1994 · 31-35, F
@666Maggotz i do!
666Maggotz · F
So either die young or deal with it. @ElizabethBabe1994

🙄 Just wait until your 40s when you have real life perspective. ;) I'm all good with aging gracefully. I don't dread it nor complain about it. Life is as good as you make it regardless of age.
CaptainKirk · 41-45, M
I wasn’t excited about it, 35 was worse. Now I’ve got 40 to look forward to 😕
juiceyangel333 · 31-35, F
@CaptainKirk why?
CaptainKirk · 41-45, M
@juiceyangel333 I work with a lot of younger people, I’m considered very old indeed
juiceyangel333 · 31-35, F
@CaptainKirk oh haha😅😅
raysam363 · 31-35, F
30 is the new 31 dontcha know. But in all seriousness, now you can use your age as an excuse.
Ryannnnnn · 31-35, M
Eh i've got 3 and I don't care anymore. It really is just an indicator of earth cycles. We have these weird pressures we put on ourselves to match this idea of what we're "supposed" to be, but it's all silly really.
I think coming to terms with the idea of your mortality is a strange one that happens on these milestones we make for ourselves.

@Tminus6453 What do you mean?

@ElizabethBabe1994 Being young for me meant being unstable... in my career and in my daily life
GeorgeTBH · 31-35, M
I'm dreading it it's happening this month 😱
juiceyangel333 · 31-35, F
I'm not
ElizabethBabe1994 · 31-35, F
@juiceyangel333 Same. Why aren't you?
juiceyangel333 · 31-35, F
@ElizabethBabe1994 My twenties weren't pleasant. So I'm concerned about being 30.
fett253 · 41-45, M
Just use roman numerals for your age year long, it'll at least make you smirk. haha
Jimmy2016 · 61-69, M
🤔...Damn, has it been 31 years since I was 30...I feel old...lol
