Turning 30....is it something to actually be mortified about or is it an event that you actually look forward to? What's the big deal about it....why is such a huge hue and cry made about it?
It's just a number....it's all in the head some say! Well if you ask me, despite all the cliches and jargons, everyone at some point of time does have this little point of concern when it comes to discussing the precocious little number 30!! So let's see, what is soooo unnerving about turning 30, that ruffles a few feathers! A stray wrinkle on the face, a solitary strand of gray hair, a layer of sagging skin rearing it's ugly head when you least expect it....BUT is this all that there is about turning 30????
If you ask me, turning 30 is that point in your life when you start introspecting on life and how better you can perform the tasks that you wish to take the plunge into....whether you want to take it head on or bide your time patiently, ensuring a smooth and successful panning out of what you have planned to do. It's the time in one's life where you ponder over whether you NEED to get married or WANT to get married if you haven't already, whether you should have a child and if you do, how do you plan on rearing your offspring, whether your career has reached it's dead end....it's point of no return, or is it a sign of new things to come, whether you are financially well settled or are you starting afresh on investments, stocks, bond, mutual funds, etc, etc!!!!
Hitting your 30's is like a bottle of Shiraz or Sauvignon Blanc left to age and mature for a good many years, hence enriching and enhancing the taste! Just like how grapes release their true taste when crushed, similarly, people in their 30's perform better and have their mettle tested, under pressure. You are experienced, have been there, done that, have taken a fall but have propped yourself up, ideally know the right's from the wrong's and overall have a clear view of life.
Who says you can't look good when you hit your 30's? Who says you need to get a shot of botox for that solitary wrinkle that just popped up, or a tummy tuck for that stubborn paunch that just doesn't go away, or better yet hair weaving for that bald pate? It's all in the mind....you can be as young, as active and as full of zest as you wish to even during the 30's! In today's time and age, one cannot even recognize, let alone look their age, so what's the point in fussing over your age....live life kingsize, face 'the demons in your head' and get over it!!!!
30's, 40's, 50's....hell even folks in their 60's live life to the fullest! Just like Bryan Adams belted out his hit track '18 Till I Die', that's the attitude that you should live with till you kick the bucket!!!!
