in exactly a week, i will be turning 30. the "big 3-0", as people like to call it. it's an odd age to be turning. when you turn 20, it is a pivotal age: "i'm not a teenager anymore!" but when you turn 30, you are simply not a 20-something anymore. and what does that mean? do people really look at you differently when you say you are 30? i've been checking the 25-35 age box for years. so why do i feel slightly anxious about it? i've never had any problem turning any age. i've enjoyed getting older every year. just like wine, i believe we get better with age. maybe it's because i am a college student at the age of 30. maybe it is because my husband is younger than i am (though not by much). maybe it is because i have let the stigma that society gives getting older effect me. who knows! all i know is that as the days tick down to my 30th birthday, i am getting nervous. i am sure it will pass and life will go on, as it does.
the trick will be reminding those i am celebrating with that i am turning 30...not 21. :)
