Is turning 30 really so bad?

2

When you ask people how they feel about turning 30, everyone seems to have an answer. The age 30 is a hot topic! 

This month I will be thirty, I know how I feel about it, and I was curious to see how others felt about turning 30. 

So, I went to the most reliable source for answers, Facebook. 😉 

I asked:  How did/do you feel about turning 30?

I was overwhelmed with the amount of responses that I received.  50+ comments and replies from friends and family.  There was a mix of good, bad, funny and sad. Here are just a few of the responses. 

 

I really struggled with turning 30. I felt like I was losing part of my identity, being the young mom. It was when I was turning 33 that I was finally okay with being in my 30’s. -Michelle M. 

 

I think turning 30 is a significant marker in life. I was able to look at what I’ve accomplished, look at what I still have yet to accomplish and see how I’m doing in life. If my 20’s are when decisions were made and a path was chosen, turning 30 signifies my reaping the benefits I guess.- Tyson O. 

 

My 30’s have been WAY better than my 20’s. Age is definitely just a number but I think our circumstances lead us to believe otherwise.- Crystal M. 

 

I had been 30 for one day… ONE DAY! When I tried to act like a teenager again at a trampoline park and ended up in physical therapy with a rotator cuff injury. It was like life saying, “welcome to your 30’s!” – Jennifer R. 

So, how do I feel about turning 30? 

I am down right excited about it! When I turned 25 I was, finally, that much closer to 30 and I could not wait! I could definitely relate to what my friend Alexis responded with…

Honestly, it’ll be a relief. All of my friends where I live are at least 30 so maybe then I’ll be “legit.” Everyone is surprised to hear I’m still in my twenties and sometimes I get embarrassed! – Alexis S. 

I’m excited, as she put it, to be legit. LOL. I’ll be too legit to quit. 🙂

Some make changes in their life, some cry for the past, while others embrace where they are and welcome 30 with open arms.  Where do you stand about 30?

  1. Maybe I was more of an “old soul,” but turning 30 was just another birthday for me! I think I’m a little more sad about the few gray hairs that I’m getting (which I currently pluck when I find, but that can’t go on forever . . . ) that I was about turning 30.

    • I love that! Thank you for sharing, “old soul”! 😉 I’m excited but definitely not going over the top because its 30, I worry more about my kids birthdays than my own. 🙂 I’ve gotten one gray hair and it was in my eyebrow of all places! LOL! I’m wondering too when I’ll be getting more.
