And so I am turning 30 this year. The big 3-0. Just thinking of that sends sirens in my mind, howling over and over. Red alert. Emergency call. And that my friend is what's causing my anxiety. There's this impending fear that really haunts me. The fear of facing the fact that my current situation is not matching up to the ideal of what any girl turning 30 should have, which are a stable job, a hefty savings in the bank, and a serious relationship. And that really bombs me. Countless of articles online are also making the list longer. Though these serve as a helpful reminder, it also doubles as how much I have to "catch up".
Although being 30 has an obvious posing disadvantage as an adult woman, there also has some advantages that I would love to dwell on more for my sanity.
Thank you.
1. We do get to know who we are as a person. Our 20's is a decade of self exploration, experimentation and discovery, not only to self but to the world. I'm sure having spent all that time, there will be major realizations that had been made clear to you. Thus doing all these decision making by the time you're 30 should be easier now that you are "in the know".
2. Sex rate is higher according to some study or survey I've read somewhere online.
Now aren't these 2 reasons alone enough to get me excited? They should. Should we go on further with this?
I dont think so.
I'm sold.
Bring it on 30!
