Apparently Josh Groban and I are the exact same age. (We have the same birthday and we'll both be 30 this year.) My mother brought me a clipping she saw in the newspaper about the event. Reading through it, I didn't expect much, I found myself intrigued by his answer to the question, "How do you feel about turning 30?"
It's pretty much how I feel about turning 30. I am not upset or depressed about it as my father assured me I would be. I am ready to run into this next decade with my head held high and ready for the next adventure. My 20's were very uncertain for me and I spent a lot of it struggling. Struggling to establish myself financially, independently, socially. Struggling to finish school and work the whole time. Struggling to take care of everyone else first and me second.
It's like Tim McGraw's song, "
My Next 30 Years," I'm going to "cry a little less, laugh a little more." The song is so positive about the future and doesn't lament time lost or youth disappearing. I can't even begin to describe the feeling I have about this birthday. It's like a moment of clarity where things make sense. Like coming to the top of that first hill on a roller coaster. There's been all this build up and you still have anticipation of that first drop. The biggest hill that gives the cars momentum to get through the rest of the ride. I've had 30 years of build-up, preparation for the rest of the ride, and now I have the momentum that will take me through to the next big hill and on to the end. It's a beginning. Time will feel like it's moving a little quicker in comparison with the first part, but it's a longer stretch of track than where I've been.
Today, I want to let everyone know that I am grateful for this positive outlook. I've made some very positive changes and have made a point to focus on myself first, in most situations. I think this has been a very large part of the excitement I feel about my upcoming birthday.
