Did you go through the "CRISIS"???

[Nicole]

I just wonder if anyone else went through the dreaded "I'm turning 30" phase of their life?

If you did, how did you deal with it? I need to know.

It seems so many things are going wrong with my body right now, and since I'm only 2 months away from turning 30, I think I'm going through a crisis. Didn't think I would, but you can't seem to help it.

Don't get me wrong I'm happy enough, I just dunno what I should do.

Did any of you change a part of yourself? Hair, clothes, diet, that type of thing? How did you all deal with turning 30?

 

[Andra_Jenny]

No. The best parts of my life happened after 30. I competed well into my early 40's winning the last event (beating the youngsters) that I entered in.

My body does give me problems from time to time, but I work out every day. My truck has almost a quarter of a million miles.

Life just boils down to maintanence.

Hell, I did not even have a crisis at 40.

Rush Limbaugh says the best years are when you turn 50.

Guess I'll find out soon enough.

Hell, I never expected to make it this long!

Nicole love. At 30 I had forgotten it was even my birthday! I don't celebrate them all too much.
But it seemed for the next 6 monthes everything that could go wrong with me physically did. Had to get very strict with myself and get back on track.
Is easier when you can lie in the arms of your beloved and have him whisper his love to you. Soooo....

why don' you get that damn sexy butt of yours over here. I know someone willing to help you. Several someone's actually. But one in whoms arms you would look natural. Besides. How is HAVOCMAN suppose to give you your birthday spanking from acoss the globe?

Hey Listen Merelan, you'd be surprised , but yes I know what you mean.

I had to go for a few tests this past week, and well it isn't looking exactly the best, they want to see me again, but not until next Tuesday, so I have 5 days to wait, and I'm not sure how I'll go ... with waiting that is.

I've done the dying of my hair, the changing clothes, the going out and getting involved, and I just don't know if I feel any better for doing that. My mood hasn't been the best and I let small things really get to me, then the next minute I'm on such a high I may as well be in the clouds.

Who said turning 30 was easy? LMAO, I wanna get a piece of them

Andra, thanks for the advice love, you made me smile so big <----- see.

 

[Merelan]

I think Andra_Jenny and I should jet on down there and take you out to how you how wonderful life after thirty is. much, much better then before.

Oh Nicole, at 30 life is great, you are still on a voyage of discovery. I'm 60 + , I look 50, think like I am 40, wish I was 30 and knew what I know now. The experience of life does get better, you are as old as you feel. So go forward and enjoy what life has to offer.

Your as old as you feel? Well shit, get the wheelchair out

Thanks, you've all made me feel better, now do I get my hair cut off or leve it long?

 

[Cheyenne]

If you're having a problem with turning 30, wait until it is over to make any major decisions. Like cutting your hair.

At 30, you start to realize your body is aging and you can't do what you did in your 20's anymore. By 40, there are more aches and pains. Just part of getting older, it is natural.

 

[Merelan]

Excuse me young whippersnapper Nicole... you leave that hair alone!!! never, ever do anything like that when you are in these moods, and you know it.

*yawn*

30 came and went without much fanfare. Just another day in the life of Me.

Actually, each of the last two decades has been better for me than the one that preceded it. I'm just hoping that trend continues...

My family also has some good genes... most of my ancestors died happily in their 80s and 90s, so I'm not too concerned.

Besides, as Indiana Jones once said, it's not the years... it's the mileage!

I did, especially from about 32 to 34. Went bonkers, worked out all the time, grew a ponytail, had an earring, dyed my hair, sports car, dated all my former students 18 and above (well the female ones anyway), stayed out all night, then went into work hungover. Partied, acquired nickname "Hollywood". (ha, ha)

Nothing wrong with all that, but it wasn't really me. About 34 I decided, hell, I'll just be me....then when I wasn't looking, I met willfulbrat, got married, kids.... the 40's have been the most fun I ever had.

I just think it's something people go through in different ways, kind of like dealing with your own mortality. As long as you're not hurting anyone else, it can kind of be a time of finding yourself, and the things that really are important to you.

I'm 43 now and I've said it here before. I had a lot more problems with 30 than I did with 40.

I've always enjoyed sports, still do. I was never the star athlete, just a role player, but at thirty, I noticed I was a step slower getting to the ball, my ball glove didin't want to go all the way to the ground for a hot grounder anymore and I got the feeling I was supposed to be "Settled down" now and wasn't quite ready for that.

I still play ball with the same bunch of guys. We are all a step slower but we use the years of experience we have to compete against the younger guys and still win enough to make it worth the effort. Figured out the what the world said about "settled down" didn't work for me and stayed the way I wanted to be.

When its all said and done, yes, your body will start to have some issues and you don't spring back from things quite the same as you used to, but as long as you are happy with yourself, the rest is just gravy. Live life, don't watch it go by.

 

[Silverlily]

I loved turning thirty! I HATED my twenties, it such a non-age. Thirty was a milestone for me, for the first time in my life, I felt I was finally the correct age.

Nicole, love, thirty is incredable. I suspect forty is even better.

 

[Cherry]

Or

You could do like I did ....

start counting backwards

~smiles~

 

[Starfish]

Not yet??? Is this something I have to look forward to?

Wait... I am a non adult... I don't care how old I am.

Well, Nik, I am sorry you are feeling so bad. I hope that the health problems go away.


*hugs Nicole*
