Re: For those that are 30 or over...

30 was no big deal...35 was no big deal...40, well, we'll have to see where I am in my life on that one. I don't measure life by a number as much as I feel I have accomplished by that number/timeframe. Like I know I would love to own another home (regardless of whether it's small, etc.) and hopefully be on the way to having another child

Re: For those that are 30 or over...

I just turned 30 in July. You know what, I embraced it - my 20s were like a roller coaster so I am actually embracing my 30s and thinking positive!

Re: For those that are 30 or over...

I have loved my 30's...best decade yet

Re: For those that are 30 or over...

There was no difference. I actually looked forward to it when it was happening. When you're 30 there's no more trying to prove yourself.

Re: For those that are 30 or over...

I'm not 30 yet, but my best girl friend is 42.

Honestly, it's just a number. You are the exact same person the day you turn 30 as you are the day before. Don't let that number drag you down.

Re: For those that are 30 or over...

Sorry Hollie I cant offer your any sympathy because I feel the same as you and maybe even worse! My 30th is next month and I am dreading it. For me, its because I havent accomplished anything that I thought I would by now.
But in reality, its just another day you know? Enjoy and celebrate what you have - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Thanks ladies.

I did get a nice ring from Tiffany and Co for my birthday and there are diamonds.

I guess I thought I would have children by now and a house and stuff.

I know life doesn't always work out the way we planned.

Let's hope I partake in the alcohol on Saturday and laugh my azz off!

Just some perspective

At 30, I just moved to LA and was starting my career over and making new friends and building a new home for myself

At 30, I didn't have a signficant other but had lots of fun

At 30, I was still such a baby and had so much to learn it was crazy

At 30, I still didn't go on one trip by myself- by 34 I had been to Thailand alone and Australia with one friend for over a month

At 30, I didn't see how I was EVER going to be a wife and mother, in fact I had given up.

Now at 37, I have an incredible DH, a beautiful 8 month DD, and a wonderful home. I love my job and am planning a future career at as a Marriage and Family Therapist. I didn't see any of this at 30 but that was when I started to finally have a damn good time!

Re: For those that are 30 or over...

I turned 30 in May (24) and the whole month I was not myself, but then my DH threw me an awesome party with everything from live music to Ralph's Ices (my favorite). I had such a great time I got over the 30 thing real quick.

Anyway, I know how you feel, but since all my friends are now in their thirties, we've decided that it's the new twenty! It's not so bad when you get there !

Re: For those that are 30 or over...

I turned 34 this August. To me it just a number. I still feel like I am in my teens and sometimes act like. There are other things to stress about than age.
