Watch c/o Daniel Wellington
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.

Age is weird. I turn 34 next month and I certainly don't feel that old. I think I'm happier than I was in my 20s.
ReplyDeleteHope you had an amazing birthday!

Hope you had a fab birthday.
ReplyDeleteI am with hollie on this - age is weird. I stand around counting fingers when people ask me how old I am. Never was one to act my age or start ticking off things on a list against an age. :)
Age is just a number my friend. You're doing a stella job without the need for meticulous planning in your life! J

Happiest of birthdays to you! Your outlook on life is admirable.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, good sir! Great mentality you have. Since I am still in my "uni days" as you call them, I've got a few years before 30 but when I hit it I hope that I'm in the same positive mindset as you.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday and I hope you had a lovely day! I hear that being in 30's is so much better than 20's so go rock it. I am very proud of you how you've grown and achieved over those years. You are awesome, Mat xx
ReplyDeleteOh, happy birthday! How did I miss it? When was it? My birthday was on the 23rd. :)
ReplyDeleteI turned 33 and I must say I'm enjoying my 30's way more than I could ever imagine. ♥
happy birthday! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane!
ReplyDeleteIt was on the 9th, a few weeks back. It's certainly all good up to now. I feel good to be in it.
ReplyDeleteOh that is way too kind, Kat, but I really do appreciate you words. I've really enjoyed our chats, likewise, and following on with your work and such. The internet isn't all bad is it? Much love x
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday! I love the idea of not rushing things in life. Sometimes people feel the need to check off all of these accomplishments and experiences, but don't really think about the purpose of doing these things. Sounds like you're in a great place. Here's to many more lovely moments for you in the future! :)
ReplyDeleteKeep doing what you're doing mate! Nice watch too.

ReplyDeleteCheers matey. I've never been one for lists, but that doesn't mean I haven't the drive to achive what I wish to. I'm sure you will, you seem to a really top guy.
ReplyDeleteJust being who I am, hopefully it will all work out.
ReplyDeleteThanks mister, I'll keep doing what I'm doing. Onwards.
ReplyDeleteWell I hope that will happen too, I think it will. Thanks Hollie, dude.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteThank you Maria!
ReplyDeleteI'm not saying I don't take a risk, rather I don't need to achive something by a set time, I'll get there, just in my own way. Thanks for taking the time to comment, Stephanie.
ReplyDeleteYep, I've never been once to dwell on an age, let's embrace and live it!
