Hell yes to this! i’m loving my 30s so far. I feel way more secure in like ALL aspects of my life. ofc couldn’t be here without the broiling mess of my 20s (and tw: if i’m being honest- at times didn’t even think i’d get here at all hah) but wow. She was right: 30, flirty and flawless! 🎀
im turning 30 this year and im literally so excited... life has never felt as peaceful or made this much sense before. im really looking forward to my 30s and beyond, the hardships still come of course but i am way better equipped to handle them. 20s is/was so stormy and unstable constantly and my mental health was very poor (though i will always struggle in this sector i have way better techniques that i could have only gained through experience!) i feel overall happier and more capable than ever, truly grounded, and ready to keep growing in this direction. i know aging is never super fashionable but in my experience it's been nothing but positive. so don't be afraid if u are someone who feels anxious about it!!!

I’ve taken some time to think about this, because so much I could say feels circumstantial. But here’s what I’ve come to:
I’m still technically early 30’s, but one thing I’ve noticed from myself and friends is a higher level of intentionality. There is an inherent drive to deepen bonds that are worth it, and moving energy away from those that are draining. In order to do that, you have to be intentional about building those connections. All my friends are busy, myself included, so we carve out time to spend together and make sure that happens at least monthly. I actually host a monthly game night which is intentionally very laid back and an opportunity to just have fun, because I know we all need it! I still make connections with new people, but there has to be a little something there for me to put my time and energy into creating something more.
I also found my focus shifting from short term to long term. That was uncomfortable for me. While I’m still a very in the moment person, I started actually thinking about how I wanted my life to look not just right now, but years from now.
It’s true that you’ll get a lot of clarity on who you are. I just am who I am, and I’m not trying things out anymore. That doesn’t mean I’m not open and curious and playful, but at my core I’m solid. Either people vibe with that or they don’t, it’s not personal to me. I don’t need to be liked by everyone, and I don’t need to like everyone.
Working on yourself is essential. We all have issues, most of them aren’t our fault, but it is our responsibility to work on them. We also all have core issues that will never fully go away, but can get better. Healing is a spiral and we’re never fully done. Life is healing, integrating, enjoying the new level, then leveling up again!
My 20s very much felt like a portal and now my 30s are feeling like a much different kind of one. Welcome to the club and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! 🥳

Believe it or not…
Even though there are some biological and societal inevitabilities that await you in your 30s, it is so extremely possible to keep doing those things and making the next decade (and the next and so on) a continuation of the beautiful, youthful energy you are embracing now.
From personal experience, my 20s were basically a black hole. I was depressed and came out feeling like I wasted time and missed out on a lot of experiences. So far, my 30s have been a renaissance of creativity, friendship, love and pleasure, and I intend for that to continue.

Lock eyes with someone on the subway. But be quick! do your best to look a lil’ flustered …. and then return your gaze after a beat.
this is one of my fave lil’ subway moves!! makes u feel sooo cute and sweet. i think it really pushes the narrative to frame the other person. now they’re the super hot and powerful main character.
sometimes its nice to play a supporting role.
