4 Reasons Why Being a THIRTY-SOMETHING is AWESOME

I remember my mom watching a show called “Thirty-Something” when I was growing up.  I thought that it had one of the weirdest titles ever.  When she told me that they gave the show this name because it was centered around people in their thirties, all I could think was, “Why in the world would people watch a show about OLD people.  How boring!”.    Now that I’ve been a “thirty-something” for five years, I realize that thirty is far from old or boring.  I think it an amazing decade of life.  Here’s why:

1. When we enter our thirties, we realize that most of what we’ve been worrying about isn’t worth the time, anguish, and frustration.  

We start to embrace ourself–including our own weirdness and idiosyncrasies– and our season of life, more and more.  This doesn’t mean we never worry or experience anxiety, but it does mean that we are more keenly aware of what generally brings us up and what tears us down. We also have a better understanding of our strengths, and so, we aren’t wandering aimlessly and wondering who we really are.  And, that is awesome feeling.
