I recently stumbled across this post from Glamour, now over 5 years old, when another site linked back to it because they felt it was such great advice. After reading it through at least twice and thinking it through the past few days with my "slowly accepting 30 and beyond" mindset, I would have to agree.
And I'm not really surprised that lists of 30 things people (mostly women) should know/do/experience/purchase etc. by the the time they are 30 have been so popular. It really does seem to be quite the milestone from an emotional perspective, and honestly, I am starting to think that it's all for the best (despite the slowly vanishing youth - from my face to my waist and so on).
Some of these items occurred to me right as I turned 30 (the suitcase, in fact, was purchased for my 30th b. day trip) and some of them are likely in the cards for the next year (due to funding constraints that are just now beginning to lessen - as they should be, or lessons that are still settling into my subconscious). But I think I'll try to revisit the list as I chip away at my original 30 and think I'll only be better for it. And that, I think, is exactly the point.
