Turning 30 next month...

[AlabamaMan]

Ok, lets get this forum started off right LOL.

I am turning 30 next month and I dread it...I am glad I am living and all but 30 just seems so....I don't know. Anyone else feel this way when they turned 30?

 

[YAWANNAKNOWJESUS?]

so then what your actually saying is that your gettin old?

Well, no big story here. Guess I'm the type to "accept the coming of age with grace". Don't see what all the fuss is about. Well, I do understand. But it's just a number, right?

I'll be 30 next September. I try to take it all in stride, and grow old gracefully.

It never bothered me when I turned 30.

I turn 30 in a month - thanks Lena for reminding me over & over & over & over & over & over & over again - and it don't matty none to me.

I think 40 will cause me a little stress - but 30 ....naaaaa!!

30's not so bad. (after the fact) I was horrified of it when I was 29, though!

 

[Tawny]

I hated turning 30! I have only just accepted it!

I always thought that by 30 my life would be sorted, I would be married, couple of children, house and everything like that, but then I guess things never turn out the way we think they will.!

i was terrified myself but looking back i feel my twenties were a terrible time in my life and now im having the time of it !

30 was unpleasant for me. I thought back to all my old dreams from when I was in highschool and I realized NONE of them had come true. It sucked.

It felt sort of weird at first, but I adjusted.

Here, here! I had the same expectation as you.....had all these plans and goals that I was set to do before I turned 30.

I only accomplished one and that was complete graduate school.

Oh well, like you said - life had other plans I guess.....

30 kicked butt for me. I felt like I was just coming into my own. I felt, finally, like a WOMAN instead of a girl.

I dreaded turning 30. Then on my 30th birthday I broke my toe, went to work where all my "friends" had saran wrapped everything on my desk and topped it with confetti. They hid my chair so I'm standing there with my toe swelling inside my shoe try to clean up saran wrap and confetti. All the while dealing with the jokes about becoming "old". It was so horrible it was comical. Comical enough to make me realize I was definately making a bigger deal out of turning 30 than it deserved. There are worse days than turning 30. Now I love being in my 30's!!

I cried like a little girl. I don't wanna go, please don't make me turn 30.
I'm over it now and I'll be 35 in two weeks.

Cried like a little girl, eh?

 

[mshillje]

I didn't even notice really. Just lucky to have the type of personality that doesn't assign a value to the actual number. In fact, quite frequently I don't remember what my actual age is, and I have to think about it a second to remember.

Now when I turned 30 my younger brother had a lot of fun teasing me about it. Next May it's his turn heh heh heh

It was a sad sight indeed.

I just turned 30 last October 30 and did my driver's license too. I think I was anticipating what I wanted to look like for my license more than my birthday. I had all these plans of what I wanted to look like, but didn't get myself dolled up as much as I wanted. I'm not sure when it was, (maybe after the license), I realized that every 5 years I get the picture taken at the DMV I'm going to be older.... and older....and older.... and one day I will have to have it taken with sagging skin and wrinkles and gray hair or dye it in an attempt to look young as opposed to dying it just for fun. I also would have liked to have gone all out for my birthday to a resaraunt or movies or something to have fun.
If we see it as more of something to look forward to - we don't reach that age but once in a lifetime, whether it's 30 or 31 or 16 or 78 - then we' ll have more fun than stressing about it.

I'll be 30 in August. I cant wait to be 30! I remember turing 27, and just being happy to be an age that could be taken seriously. I like being an adult, after all I've been trying to be one since I was 12!!
