Turning 30!

Today, I turn 30.


When I was little, I used to think that people at their 30 were really old. Now that I am in my 30s, that perception has quickly shifted.

Standing where I am today, I still feel like a little kid, except I’m doing my best in playing the part of an adult- trying to fit in with other grown-ups and subsequently hiding little kid within.

To be very honest, I was not thinking of writing an article on how I feel on turning 30. If you ask me, I will say, there is nothing different at this age except for the sheer fact of growing older with this number definitely makes me look back in my past and reminds me of all good things I had done for the ppl around me, some silly mistakes I had done, how many ppl got hurt by my “not-so-acceptable” attitude and the commitment to my own self on putting as much efforts I could to change myself for the better tomorrow and to make all those ppl happy and proud who really love me and care for me.

Its been 3 decades I have been on this earth and I have been loving my existence to the fullest. Lot of ppl tell me that “I am self obsessed!” My answer to them is: "I am not self obsessed. Its just that I love myself more than you do." I could love ppl around me with my dear heart only because I love myself and that feeling has inspired me to write down what I really feel at this age. You cant be connected to yourself if you don’t appreciate, don’t love your existence.

When you are in your 30s, ppl around you would expect you to be wiser but believe me you don’t have to be that way. I am not saying that being wiser is not good. Its just that no need to change yourself only because you are getting older. Life’s good the way you take it. Life’s good the way you enjoy it… Its OK to behave like a 10 years old when you have a sweet tooth and someone leaves you alone at the dessert bar… lol

While writing this article and recollecting old days to realize what I had missed out in last 30 years that I shouldn’t have missed, the only regret I have is I couldn’t express my dear ones, my family, more often that I love them a lot and every minute staying away from them reminds me of all good times I had spent with them. So today, I don’t want to miss this chance to say I love you all. I appreciate your presence in my life. I am no one without ya’ll.

Life gets real, life gets better when you grow older. It helps you understand true meaning of your existence. Don’t worry and stay happy. Its always good to witness our own self going through the changes at every passing moment…

I am excited. I am more energized today as I step into a new year with lots of hope, courage and dreams of doing something extra for myself and everyone around me.
