I THINK, THEREFORE I BLOG. THOUGHTS ARE OBVIOUSLY MY OWN.
Today, I turned 30.
The big three-oh. The “landmark” age. Hey girl, it’s me. I’m here. I wondered how I’d feel when thirty came around. I wondered for a while, actually. As a woman, the idea of aging can feel uncomfortable. All this biological clock talk and pressure to experience your “best years”. It’s weird and it's everywhere. But today, I feel good. I feel confident. I feel like Beyoncé on Schoolin' Life - and if you don't get that reference.... oh honey. Somewhere along the way, someone created this idea that women expire. Women are taught that they must become mothers, wives, or the president before they’re 30 or they’ve wasted their time and talents. What a misconception that is. Just like a fine wine, the expensive kind, I feel like I'm only getting better with time. Today, I turned 30. At thirty, I get to experience what a blessing it is to age. At thirty, I get to experience a better version of myself and the life that I’ve created. At thirty, I get to reflect on the good, the bad, and the ugly that led me here. At thirty, I get to make more money and spend more money too! Today, I turned 30. At thirty, I get to experience the "before and after". I get to see the payoff from all of the hard work. I get to make my own rules and move to the beat of my own drum. Although I was already doing this (IYKYK), there's something more unapologetic that comes with it at this big age lol. At thirty, I get to stand in my grandiose confidence and femininity. At thirty, I feel grown. Today, I turned thirty. At thirty, I’m wiser, finer, healthier, happier, wealthier - better. At thirty, I’m her. Still her. Been her. Happy Birthday to all the '93 babies, especially the ladies. Tell the bottle girls to bring out champagne! Cheers to a new decade of everything our hearts desire. Today, I turned thirty. Thank you God. written 08/28/2023
