30 Lessons From My 30-year-old Self
Not the ‘Do it now or regret later’ crap. Let’s get real!
I have read so many of these in my 20s, that these kind of write-ups make me want to throw up. Not because of the hangover after my 30th birthday bash, but because everyone can share experiences, and yes, it does get better, but nobody can tell you how your life should be. You are the one living it. You’re going to learn through it, not by reading something someone said about their 20s online!
I am completely off-selling myself, ain’t I? Well, maybe I am using reverse psychology in a risky way to make you read this. You know what, at this point I am just blabbering. And here I thought I’d be better at writing at least by the time I was 30! That didn’t get crossed off the bucket list.
I actually never had a bucket list. I just believed in myself and kept my faith. Life just flew by. Sometimes like a spring breeze with the fragrance of the fresh flowers, and sometimes, what seemed like an unending and inevitable hurricane!
But Life did surprise me. I even surprised myself many times. And when I turned 30 in January’25, I officially felt like an ‘actual, mature, who has it together’ adult! Well, until I started writing this!
