Thoughts On Turning Thirty


 
Last week I turned 30 years old. I'm not sure how that's meant to feel; I don't feel young, yet I don't feel old. Physically I feel better than ever. Priorities have shifted since my uni days, and currently I feel like I'm on the way to arriving somewhere I imagined I'd be (I've just taken the long way around, but can't you really set a deadline for these things?), and long gone are the days when I even can be bothered staying up past 12:30am...

I now feel comfortable knowing that the path I took was a risk, but satisfied knowing that I made the right decision. I didn't go about making a list of things I wanted to achieve before I hit the big 3-Oh - rushing has never been my style. But not to worry, I know I'll tick them off one day.

Turning 30 has reaffirmed that I'm still on the right path. And if I carry on working hard at being the best person that I can be, pushing myself to learn new skills, and surrounding myself with good people, then I'll be able to achieve more than I could have ever imagined.
