30’s Looming

Birthday Cake

I turn 30 in a few weeks.

Making a big fuss about birthdays as an adult feels gauche – I am not one of those exhausting people who celebrates a “birthday month,” but this birthday feels more significant because my 20’s are over.

There is no anxiety about exiting my 20’s – I have very little in common with people who are in their early 20’s and most of my role models did their best work well after 30…which is a lengthy way of saying that I am going to properly celebrate this birthday without regrets.

I toyed around with doing the birthday in Miami, Minneapolis, and even Germany, but I think this is the year of Dallas.

I turned 29 in Minneapolis with a half-empty apartment, about to embark on the epic road trip.
