Growing up, hitting 30 seemed like a death sentence. It ment you were old. Or atleast that was the stigma. Who really feels that way? Is it people who have given up on life and accepted the status quo of getting old? I absoulty refuse to accept preconceived notions of growing old. Life begins in your 30s!!

    I felt that way as a kid and at sometimes I still do feel like when you hit 30 it is the beginning of real adulthood... which means your life is almost half over :( (But pay the thought no mind because I have depression AND I'm a worry wart by nature :/ ). But in reality, I'm 33 now and Really I still act and feel a lot like I did in my 20's (I have never been a super immature person lol, always been pretty level headed but I also have a playful side that didn't just die when I hit 30)! Now I do get more aches and pains LOL I noticed that as soon as 30 hit lol it felt like my body started to fall apart lbvs. But I think that has more to do with my age COMBINED with lifestyle (Hence the reason I'm trying my best to lose more weight so I don't turn into the tinman (Tin Lady in my case lol) from the Wiz before I hit 40 lol), but my spirit, hobbies, and life goals are still the same as in my 20's. And those are to Have a fun and meaningful life, filled with lots of love <3, a little adventure, and becoming the best person I can be/the person God meant for me to become. :)

    life begins at 30. well mine did anyway. im way more active now than in my 20's, more responsibilities yet handling the situations better.

    if there's one thing i could say to anyone is keep moving, your body is designed to move, get off that sofa for at least 30mins to an hour every day and do something, be it a walk, run, sport, fitness dvd or stationary bike. you will feel so much better for it. having seen family members gradually get weaker and frail due to their sedentary life style this has made me more determined to look after myself. im 33 now going 34 soon, i feel better now than i did at 25.

    I'm 23 and always saw 30 as a beautiful age. It's when (according to me) you start getting your life in order and becoming less concerned about what other people have to say. It's when life decisions are made: final career changes, perhaps new friends and relationships, whether to continue life as being sedentary or active, moving to a new place, etc. You're a person in your own right living your own life for yourself because you are equipped with knowledge and experience to make the right choices for you.

    Or at least, that's how I want to be when I am 30. I'm very excited for that part in my life, but for now I have to experience new things, encounter obstacles, learn the hard truth about myself and hope I come out all right.
