What’s my age again ?

It feels like more money, more problems. Body parts hurt and don’t heal right away. Yeah you have heartburn, a handful of friends, and they all live far away. You question life choices, finally start figuring out what the hell you’re supposed to be doing. But you also find peace, get more comfortable in your own skin. You can see through the bullshit, can recognize the people who are genuine. Your 30s are like your 20s. Your brain won’t see the difference, you’ll just know when you look around and think “hey, this isn’t so bad”.

it‘s a relief

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.

Welcome to your 30’s!

I’ve taken some time to think about this, because so much I could say feels circumstantial.  But here’s what I’ve come to: I’m still technically early 30’s, but one thing I’ve noticed from myself and friends is a higher level of intentionality.  There is an inherent drive to deepen bonds that are worth it, and moving energy away from those that are draining.  In order to do that, you have to be intentional about building those connections.  All my friends are busy, myself included, so we carve out time to spend together and make sure that happens at least monthly.  I actually host a monthly game night which is intentionally very laid back and an opportunity to just have fun, because I know we all need it!  I still make connections with new people, but there has to be a little something there for me to put my time and energy into creating something more. I also found my focus shifting from short term to long term.  That was uncomfortable for me.  While I’m still a very in the moment person, I started actually thinking about how I wanted my life to look not just right now, but years from now. It’s true that you’ll get a lot of clarity on who you are.  I just am who I am, and I’m not trying things out anymore.  That doesn’t mean I’m not open and curious and playful, but at my core I’m solid.  Either people vibe with that or they don’t, it’s not personal to me. I don’t need to be liked by everyone, and I don’t need to like everyone. Working on yourself is essential. We all have issues, most of them aren’t our fault, but it is our responsibility to work on them.  We also all have core issues that will never fully go away, but can get better.  Healing is a spiral and we’re never fully done.  Life is healing, integrating, enjoying the new level, then leveling up again! My 20s very much felt like a portal and now my 30s are feeling like a much different kind of one. Welcome to the club and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! 🥳

Fun resolutions?

Last year I bought something new at the markets each time I visited. This year’s fun resolution is yet to come to me, but I trust it will. There’s no rules to your yearly resolutions, and making them fun and playful helps them to stick. It’s all about being present. What’s yours this year?
