Like It's My Birthday by Soulja Boy ||
I admit. Crossing the bridge to 30 was a struggle.
Earlier this year, I tried to overcome major depression pangs. I was pressured to prove to myself and to the world that I was already stable and in control. I had to reassess my life and every aspect of it.
Now that I have finally crossed the bridge, I have to say that being 30 is not as bad as I thought it would be.
So to celebrate three decades of existence, I am posting a sequel to my birthday post last year to share the "Post-It Notes" that I have picked up along the road to 30.
10 Things I Learned This Year:
10. Enjoy every ride but know when to get off (last year it was just "Enjoy every ride").
9. Getting back with an ex is like reading an old book. The ending is the same.
8. Something ugly can blossom into something beautiful. It just needs two things: time and careful nurturing.
7. Love will not come around if you are not ready for it.
6. Nowadays, true friendship is rare. If you unearth something as precious, never let go. Take a break from your busy schedule to catch up over coffee or to get a few drinks. If you don't, your friendship will wilt and eventually die a natural death.
5. Spend time with yourself. Watch a nice, cheesy movie. Read a borrowed book. Drive around deserted roads. Enjoy every single minute with yourself. It's not scary to be alone.
4. Some people wear distorted masks for a reason. If you take time to sit down and get to know these people, you'll realize that beneath the murky facade lies a good soul.
3. Challenge yourself every now and then. Step out of your comfort zone. Explore the "what ifs". If you don't, you'll never find out what you can still do.
2. A cup of love, a spoonful of passion, a hint of fun and adventure here and there, and a sprinkle of pixie dust: these are the things that will help you survive the harsh realities of life.
1. Everyone needs to be saved. Even the hero.
I'm 30 and happy. After all it's the new 20.
