When I was younger I used to make a HUGE DEAL about my birthday. Cakes, balloons, countdown clock updates for all my friends and family, etc., now I haven't said anything unless someone mentions it to me. They always said that birthdays are not as big of a deal once you get older, and I didn't believe them. Now, I have to admit they proved me wrong.
I have heard it said that your 30's are supposed to be the best years. You are over the awkwardness of your teens, out of the party stage of your 20's (hopefully), and now you are supposed to be making something of yourself. Honestly, for me, my 30's have sucked. 31 and 32 were not the best years. I keep waiting for it to "get better" but it hasn't. Well, I guess my life could be worse and I should thank God for my blessings, but I have been trying to get back on track for almost two years now. I need to go out and do something out of my comfort zone to make my life, MY LIFE. I shouldn't live for other people or care about what they think or what I should do/have right now.
Enough of my pity party, here's to 33! I gotta go make that wish....
Wow!! I turned 33 today and found this post through Google. I felt the EXACT same way all day today but some friends took me to dinner and reminded me that the best is yet to come. We're still young and yes, there is so much to be grateful for. Cheers to you and me for a year ahead filled with opportunities, new adventures, and golden memories!
