On Turning Thirty...

[geminigirl]

Someone asked me last week if I had any feelings on turning thirty (which I'll do on 5/27.)
I replied, "I don't, really. If I didn't have the wedding, and (other project which isn't public knowledge yet) I might be, but I'm so focused on other things that I just don't have time to think about it."

That's semi-accurate...I haven't given much thought to turning thirty. Part of it is being so focused on other things that I have coming up. Part of it is being happy with where things are at. Turning 26 was hard, but I was unhappy then. No wonder I was unhappy about my birthday.

Tell me about your birthdays? Tell me which years were hard for you to face, and which ones you looked on with joy and excitement.

My suggestion to you: act like a complete idiot on your 30th birthday. My best friend told me to queue my favorite song before I went to sleep the night before my birthday. Then when my alarm went off, I was to turn on the song and jump up and down on the bed. I now celebrate all my birthday mornings dancing on my bed, which probably why it started falling apart....

As for hard birthdays, 32 was difficult. I had just gone through a major breakup two weeks earlier and was moving out my apartment. Plus, I had the feeling of "there's no stopping it...my thirties are coming through." When I told my advisor that, she laughed so hard that I think she fell out of her chair.
