Almost the big 30
We generally don't feel time pass too quickly, at least not until we hit 25 and everything starts to quickly creep up on you.
In only 11 days on October 27th is my 30th birthday which is both good and bad for many reasons.
Even though I am not completely scared, I still am a little, knowing it is so close and I look back at some of the things I have or haven't done in my life. But I feel happy to know my life has been lived how I want to.
I haven't conformed to the usual aspects of being married with kids, in full time work and that's basically your life by your mid 20's or so. No, I have enjoyed myself while working on getting to where I should be.
The good
- Self-motivated
- Turned myself into a generally positive person who looks to the future
- Grown stronger, wiser, and more intelligent from learning and adapting to everything in life
- On the right career path along with always learning additional topics of interest
- Loving partner who has been amazing to me
- Have written a novel (big self-accomplishment)
- Lived life with a decent amount of enjoyment
The bad
- Still a student - reasons are due to changing my career path, not able to get work in my previous fields, and personal reasons from how my life has gone so far
- Yet to be married or at least have kids (I really want kids)
- Haven't traveled overseas
- I don't completely feel I am where I want to be in life (yet)
Those are just some of the major things that were good and bad
Your thoughts
How do you feel about your life, where you are and what you want compared to your age? Or would you apply some of the things I mentioned to your own life?
