I must say that until my 25th Birthday I never really cared about age. It was just a number, just another year, nothing more. But right after I turned 25th, something changed: I was suddenly finding myself think about the “OMG GIRL! You’re dangerously approaching the 30s !”
Yep, true story: dangerously ! This year, in few months only I will turn 30 and trust me I do not think I’ve ever been less prepared than this. I never thought this could affect me but strangely and in a way I do not understand; it actually does.
I decided to use this time and actually the all year of my 30s to figure out the things I absolutely wanna do to feel better about the all “getting old” story.
A nice way to start would be to list some of the things (there are many more) I really would like to do in this future year (and few months).
