I remember in college I would brag with friends..i can’t wait to be in my 30’s and then they would look at me like I have gone nuts!!!! I believed my 30’s will rock and it sure is! I know many will agree with me about this. Age brings along with it a sense of maturity and stability.
There are moments I am glad the way life has turned out, proud of every decision I have made, some turned out beautiful and others real bad, but it has brought a sense of accountability in me. I was more a free spirit and never liked to be bogged down with anything. I think my teenage was a havoc both to me and others , was always in a constant battle with my emotions, turbulent I should say. A bit more than a child and less a adult, trying to figure out ways of life…oof what a mess:).
And then there I was out in the world on my own, college done as there were no plans to continue further. My experiment with careers began, I am not sure if I made a success of it nevertheless met a wide variety of people. A few people who made a huge difference, rest of the lot don’t matter at all.
Me and a good friend were talking a couple of months ago that we could write a story of our life but I wanna wait.... life hasn’t come to an end….and (lol) I am only in my 30’s and it seems like it has just begun…….
Years ago it was impossible for me to judge people and when things turned sour I would know..but now I feel like a expert, I feel like I have this special power to read minds, read faces too..one look, exchange of a few words and boom….i just know what they are made of. ..not that I have not done mistakes after all to err is human na…
30’s has brought with it a wonderful sense of self-realization. A great feeling of freedom..a feeling of “ I can do what I want”. I can now differentiate a genuine compliment v/s fake, can get away from that salesgirl trying to promote a new beauty product, ask somebody to move out of my way in a crowd..and the list continues and so does the joy!!
Can’t help smiling when I hear Jay-Z sing 30’s the new 20........how true..how true( shout)..
A few things I wanna do before I hit 40 –
Lose a few kilo’s ( n save me from old age pains:)
Go on a trekking and it sure has to be the Himalayas or its ranges
Pick up a car and start driving…
Buy a good SLR and get into serious photography
N the list continues………….
There is so much to do..so much to live and love..isn’t it?
I wanna keep the faith alive that I can do better with time:D
After all……….“Age is just a number".........................
Really very true in terms of 30 as an age though a mere number. All the best for your next scope of portfolio before your reach 40 :)
