i donāt know it this is a rec or anti-rec, but iām turning 30 this year and it feels so surreal. like where did the time go?
iāve always been excited to turn 30. 30 year olds have their shit together right? (lolling at myself right now.)
anyway, iām still hopeful that this is going to be a good year, even though itās starting off a chaotic mess.

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!!!

Iāve been 30 for one week and I am at the crossroads of āoppurtunity!ā and āmy life is falling apart.ā I had a minor inconvenient birthday experience and slept through all milestone celebrations. I could say itās feeling bleak right now but thats the joy of what life can be!

Iāve taken some time to think about this, because so much I could say feels circumstantial.Ā Ā But hereās what Iāve come to:
Iām still technically early 30ās, but one thing Iāve noticed from myself and friends is a higher level of intentionality.Ā Ā There is an inherent drive to deepen bonds that are worth it, and moving energy away from those that are draining.Ā Ā In order to do that, you have to be intentional about building those connections.Ā Ā All my friends are busy, myself included, so we carve out time to spend together and make sure that happens at least monthly.Ā Ā 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!Ā Ā 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.Ā Ā That was uncomfortable for me.Ā Ā While Iām 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.
Itās true that youāll get a lot of clarity on who you are.Ā Ā I just am who I am, and Iām not trying things out anymore.Ā Ā That doesnāt mean Iām not open and curious and playful, but at my core Iām solid.Ā Ā Either people vibe with that or they donāt, itās not personal to me. I donāt need to be liked by everyone, and I donāt need to like everyone.
Working on yourself is essential. We all have issues, most of them arenāt our fault, but it is our responsibility to work on them.Ā Ā We also all have core issues that will never fully go away, but can get better.Ā Ā Healing is a spiral and weāre never fully done.Ā Ā 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!!!! š„³

highly sensitive person who has a lot of empathy over here šāāļø i struggle with the same thing, i find myself having to isolate a lot because all the feelings are just overwhelming and it's so tough being surrounded by all the constant negativity in the world. don't think you should stop caring, it's also important to take care of yourself, a lot of people take advantage of people who care too much, but i still think it's so beautiful to care about others.
