im turning 30 this year and im literally so excited... life has never felt as peaceful or made this much sense before. im really looking forward to my 30s and beyond, the hardships still come of course but i am way better equipped to handle them. 20s is/was so stormy and unstable constantly and my mental health was very poor (though i will always struggle in this sector i have way better techniques that i could have only gained through experience!) i feel overall happier and more capable than ever, truly grounded, and ready to keep growing in this direction. i know aging is never super fashionable but in my experience it's been nothing but positive. so don't be afraid if u are someone who feels anxious about it!!!

Congrats on making it thru your 20s. I used to be really anxious about turning 30 but I think that’s because people around our age are using the milestones of yesteryear (having a house, family, etc.) to measure our sense of self worth.
I’ve come to accept that placing any expectations on where you Should Be or what you Should Have by a certain age is an unreasonable and frustrating way to live life. the older you get the easier it is to to radically accept where ur at in life.
I’ve since turned 31 which I think is an even funnier age and I feel like I’m more relaxed and at peace with myself then ever. I don’t really feel confused or like there is anything I need to “figure out,” which is how I and probably how most people feel in their 20s. i have perspective on life that feels earned thru personal experience and that isn‘t derived from cultural/intellectual consumption.
Also I think it’s important and liberating to lean in to being “old” and “washed” and out of touch. You’re free! Let the kids buy JNCOs. Enjoy yourself. life is short.

a little more than a week out from my birthday, the final year of my 20s which have been, to put it mildly, tumultuous. feeling so grateful to be constantly becoming more myself, to be in the healthiest loving relationship i’ve ever been in, and to keep trying new restaurants! i love aging!!!!!

Believe it or not…
Even though there are some biological and societal inevitabilities that await you in your 30s, it is so extremely possible to keep doing those things and making the next decade (and the next and so on) a continuation of the beautiful, youthful energy you are embracing now.
From personal experience, my 20s were basically a black hole. I was depressed and came out feeling like I wasted time and missed out on a lot of experiences. So far, my 30s have been a renaissance of creativity, friendship, love and pleasure, and I intend for that to continue.
