Turning 30

Turning 30

As I turned 29 last year, I thought to myself, I have one last year of my 20’s, let’s do some fun things that I may not normally do. As 2020 turned out…. Well we all know how that went. 

Now that I approach the last month of being in my 20’s (can I just turn 29 again since we lost a year?) I’m wondering if there are things I “should” have done before I turn 30? Is there still things I can do in the next 29 days that fall in to the “should do before 30” category?

There is always so much pressure put on these milestones, culture and society have a part in this, but we also put that pressure on ourselves. I think that as long as we are happy, then there shouldn’t be an issue with the things we have, or haven’t, done by a certain point as long as we are content. If there is something we want to do, why wait until a certain point in time?

I’ve been trying to shake the feeling of the “should do” attitude over the last few days but I can’t seem to let it go. Yet, when I try to think of the things I want to do in the next few weeks before my birthday, I come up blank. Is there really something I “should” do or have I just put that pressure on myself? I usually do things that I want to, or put a plan in place, and apart from my normal to do list or the places I want to travel to, there’s not much left.

So I’ll ask the question, is there something I should do before the big 3 0?

Was there things that you put on your list to do before you turned 30 that you may of not done otherwise?

Here’s to the last days of my 20’s…. Either way, I don’t think the big 30 will change things much.
