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.
