Last year in my 30’s

When I was a child I wanted to get older, now that I’m getting older I would love to be younger. As soon as I turned 25, I felt that I was too old already. I suddenly felt like life was too short and that time passes by in a snap of a finger. Before I knew it I turned 39.

Maybe approaching my mom’s age when she passed is the cause of my trauma. I thought she was old, but as I’m getting close to her age, I realize she wasn’t that old. She always dreamed of turning 50, but she will forever be 41. I learned to not take life for granted and to appreciate the people I care about around me for we never know when it will be the last time.

I always try to see the positive as much as I can, but I’m only human. People mistake my kindness for weakness, but I chose my battles and process things more cautiously, because one thing I’ve learned is to not assume. When I do thunder, I become unrecognizable, but I only mirror.

my glow up at 39 years old
My last year of my 30s—whew, what a ride! From chasing dreams to facing reality checks, losing and finding myself, and learning what truly matters. Growth isn’t always pretty, but it’s always worth it. Big shoutout to my girly girls in their 40s for all the tips and wisdom! Y’all really made me

what i stopped doing when i entered my 30s
As you enter your 30s, you start to have a pretty solid idea of who you want to be and goals you have for yourself. And of course, we won’t have it all figured out — but there is something about entering your 30s that gives you the power and freedom to be who you are and live your life on your own

In my 30’s
New York I went back ti school for nursing! At first, I was hesitant because this is new to me. I did not imagine that I would do it here in United states. I was adjusting to the way they teach here. I was surprised how they value students who are working and going to school at the same t

wellness habits as I enter my 30s
I can’t believe I’ll be entering the last year of my 20s and soon saying hello to my 30s. I will say although it was a scary time in my life at 26, If I hadn’t gone through what I did with my health scare- I wouldn’t be where I am today. I’m so grateful it happened when it did. That way I was
