What DID you think about turning 30?

[Joined2krist]

I don't miss my younger years. Fortunately, i still haven't put on weight; which usually accompanies getting older. Thankful to God for each day

Well, I am 34 right now but next month on July 30 I am turning 35.

What did I think about turning 30?

When I was 12, I used to think that age 30 was SO OLD. But now that I have passed that milestone I don't think age 30 is old at all.

I have always considered "old" to be 17 years older than whatever age I am at the moment.

In my late 60s...I still do.

I turned 30 in 2020.. right in the middle of lockdown. It was definitely a bummer. We had planned a girls trip with my mom and sister to a like spa resort and I ended up in an inflatable pool in the backyard by myself.

These days I’m thoroughly enjoying singing that I’m a “32 year old lady” in the style of Jenna Marbles when asked about my age.

Turning 30 was one of the best years of my life. I reallybstarted to figure out who I was as a man and what I wanted in life. It's harder 8 years later lol. Cant wait for 2020 too to be over.

When I was in high school (even in uni) I DREADED turning 30.
Thirty was that time when the "party was over" and when "life has to start". It was time (at the LATEST) to start having kids and buying a house.
All those "boring" things.

It made the month or so before my birthday kinda stressful for me. I was just dreading it as I had been dreading it in high school. Luckily, due to my "partying holiday lifestyle" I landed myself in some hot water and I had other stresses to thinkabout and my birthday became a distant thought.

After I turned thirty, I didn't really care. I still don't care that I'm 30 (about 5 months in).


how about you?

At first, I didn't feel any different. When I think about how my 30s has been going compared to my 20s, my 30s has definitely been a roller coaster of emotions, good events, and bad events. My 20s seemed to have much more stability.

Being in my 30s doesn't make me sad or anything like that. I'm ok with it.

It was ten years ago for me already, so the memory is a bit hazy by now. I was smack dab in the middle of grad school at the time, so I don't think I had the time to sit there and ponder it too much. That was probably a good thing.

Can't say I miss it, though I do miss some of the friends I had then who are gone now. That would've happened eventually anyway, though, so I guess that's not really my thirties' fault.

 

[RDKirk]

My twenties were my most fun years, but my 30s were my best years.

 

[Lost Witness]

No Millennials were 30 in 2007. >.< 30yrs old is when i started to developed allergies.

 

[DragonFox91]

I just turned 31 & hardly thought about it. I didn't like turning 30 tho.

Me either. Turning 40 though... that one will be especially rough for me.

 

[Going_Nowhere]

I didn't really feel any different when I turned 30. Just seemed like another year gone by.


I'm always taken back by how quickly time seems to fly by though. One minute, I'm 30. And then it's like I jumped to 35. Crazy.

At the age of forty, I saw 1 notification in my Skype. It said "You have no new notifications". Unfortunately, it's not a joke.

 

[Taylorz27]

I didn't think much about turning 30 as much as I have just turned 40 two weeks ago. I think I still considered myself young and no big deal.

 

[MarkSB]

Turning 40 wasn't all that bad for me, since I still felt/feel young (and people tell me I look young as well... hopefully that lasts for a while yet, ha). We were supposed to go on a trip for my 40th that the wife had planned, but didn't because it was the beginning of the COVID pandemic and my wife was pregnant.

This year (age 42) is really the first year that I had a couple moments where I started feeling old, just due to some (pretty minor) health issues. I get eczema at times - though not severe, it still can be annoying. I had some imaging done on some lumps on my upper arms to confirm they were benign. The doctor told me I had high cholesterol and should go on statins - but I opted to try major diet changes and went onto a strenuous exercise routine instead, and was able to get my LDL down (I'm a little proud of that one). And there's been some other issues within my family, but nothing earth shattering. So nothing really major, but maybe my first realization that I'm starting to get older and things are going to continue to change. But I'm still feeling pretty young at this point.

It was a lot less eventful that I thought it would be. In TV shows everyone makes a great deal of it, but I didn't feel it meant much.
Maybe 30 more meaningful to women than men, due to the proximity of the end of their ideal age to have children. I wonder if I will hit a crisis at 40.

 

[RDKirk]

I'm afraid my crisis might be at 70.

At first I was thinking about why I am still unmarried while most people I know already are and also started making babies. Turning 30 made me think about my future but also as a christian, my journey with the Lord. So I decided to become a member of a baptist church.
I still have that need to be married with someone but I won’t pursue it only for the sake of getting married and also I need to wait in the Lord.
I am content in this moment of my life but can’t help but wonder what it would be like.

Not 30 yet but I think being happy with your age is relative to the point where you are in life, for example job, family, finances and the likes. Sadly many of us compare ourselves with our peers forgetting that everyone is running an individual race

 

[RileyG]

I turn 30 in about 2.5 years.
