No not a post about loosing 30 ( I have surpassed that) I am turning 30 tomorrow. I am not sure why but that 3 0 is bugging me. It is just a number, you are only as old as you feel....BLAH BLA BLAH!!! When I was a kid (which I am sure was only like 5 years ago) I thought by now I would be living a much different life of fun and glamor....not that my life isn't pretty decent it has just hit me that I really am a grown up and child hood was a very long time ago.

So I am not trolling for any Happy Birthday's here I am here asking:

What age bugged you and why?

    I'm 30 a month after you. I'm not too bothered by it actually. I've been sick my entire 20s and am happy to see them go. turning 20 though was big for me I cried. I think it was because I was no longer a teenager, and more so an actual adult.

    30 bugged me as well, but here's why I like it now (and Lord, this sounds as preachy as hell, and I don't mean it to, honestly) - I feel lucky to have got here. I had some bad times in my twenties, and I kind of put my body through a lot, then I dieted way too hard and that must have added to it. I felt really bad for a long time, especially in my early twenties, about various things and I didn't want to or even see me hitting 30. But I did, and I'm really grateful.

    Damn, I've even stopped pulling out the odd grey hair I find! ;)

    (Happy birthday, btw!)

    I dreaded 30 up until the day I turned 30 (almost 5 yrs ago) and then I woke up on my 30th birthday and realized everything was still the same, I chilled. The 30's are truly the BEST years of my life.

    My SO thinks am being foolish so it is nice to know there are others who felt this way about 30. I don't know your 20s are supposed to be fun, 30 is like for reals life. Which is dumb for me to be upset about since I have been working full time since I was 15 and been a responsible adult since 18 and didn't have my son until 27 so one would think it is just another day but I am kinda depressed.

    30 didn't really bother me very much. I'm 32 now and that's the one that really bothered me because I'm the youngest of 2 kids but my sister passed when she was 31. I had a real issue with being "older" than her. She died in a surgery and on my 32nd birthday, I had to have an appendectomy, so I was understandably freaked out.

    ETA: um... sorry for that buzzkill. Happy Birthday. 30 isn't really that bad at all.
