I did not have issues with turning 30. It didn't feel like a big deal. In fact, 29 was actually more difficult- I guess by the time I hit 30, I'd been preparing for it for a year. At 31, Sean reminded me that we were now "in our 30's", and though it felt like there was no going back, it still wasn't weird.
But 32 feels weird. It feels like an adult age. People my age have houses and kids and two car-garages, filled with two cars. They own strollers and blenders and know how to cook more than just things that come out of boxes. They have important jobs with important titles like "lawyer", "engineer", "artist", "manager", "contractor", just to name a few.
For some reason, with every birthday, I compare my life with the cast of "Friends". They were supposed to be about 26ish when the show started and in their mid-30's when it ended. I'm fairly on track with their progress at this stage. I've got a good job, a husband (I think Ross might've been married for the 2nd time by then), money in the bank, and some pretty awesome friends. So I guess I'm where I'm meant to be, at least according to the writers and NBC.
And I suppose it feels that way. It just feels WEIRD that it feels that way.
I feel grown-up today.
I need to do something silly.
Suggestions?
