5 Raw Realizations for Thirty Somethings
Everyone who has reached the wonderful age of thirty will have more or less learned the same lessons though the experiences will differ.
Before you fall totally off the calendar, here are some of the things worth noting.
For the ones in their 20’s, this is a glimpse of the future. For people in their thirties, here’s a refresher course on the things that make us fabulous now.
#1. It’s hard to be yourself and not hate it sometimes.
All the cliches about finding who you are, doing some soul-searching, widening your horizons, etc., those are all true.
But when you already have that foundation, that solid center of the person you really are, you’ll find that the less desirable traits can be kind of inconvenient.
You know how you used to be a cowboy and do the backpacking thing, stay in crappy hotels, and eat street food while on vacation? Turns out, that’s just a phase for many of us.
At 30 you realize that you really do like the finer things in life. And it can get annoying because now you can’t bring yourself to settle for a less comfortable vacation, which means you have to spend more, which means you have to work harder, which means taking a vacation is gonna take a lot of planning.
But being self-aware, knowing your own boundaries, deal breakers, luxuries, etc, will all build a stronger you. It will give you the strength to do a lot of things you need to do growing up.
2. Bros before hoes is kind of stupid.
In your younger years, you pinky-swear, you spit-shake, and you make blood compacts with your friends about sticking together and being there for one another and not letting your significant others get in the way of that.
Well, the ones who take this too seriously will most likely end up alone, third-wheeling their bros.
As you get older, friendships fall away for one reason or another. The more you try to fight the different paths your lives are taking, the more distance you actually set between you and your friends.
Accept the changes that come.
One of those changes is your priorities. You’ll learn that you need to invest time and effort into your romantic relationship to make it stick, to really commit to it.
You’ve already done that for your friendships, that’s why it’s as solid as can be at this point. Real pals will understand the effort you need to put in to build your relationship with your partner, build a family, etc.
They don’t need to come before. They’re with you through it all.
3. Your lowest point can launch you to your highest peak
You’re bound to have at least one lower-than-pondscum moment in your 20s. During that time you probably thought you’ll remember it for the rest of your life because it’s so difficult and so excruciatingly painful.
But you won’t. You won’t remember it for those things.
You’ll remember yourself in those times and how you handled it. It will be the point in your life you will vow to never let yourself reach again.
It will keep you aiming higher, it will pull you up every time you fall on your face.
It won’t be your excuse for failing. It will be your reason for succeeding.
4. You’re not just allowed to be wrong, you’re encouraged.
Those who brag that they have never made mistakes that ruined a life (like a breakup), or that they have never talked back or fought with their parents, or did anything that wasn’t safe or approved, are really not doing themselves a favor.
They shouldn’t be your role models.
Those who say they’ve never really done anything wrong are lying. That’s exactly what they’re doing wrong–not making the mistakes they should be making.
There are lessons you get from making, living, and not repeating your own mistakes that you will never get from reading about them or hearing other people’s experiences of it.
Go make mistakes.
5. It’s best when work fits your lifestyle, not the other way around.
A lot of people who are stuck in jobs they don’t like tell themselves that they need it to pay their bills. But really you should ask yourself what are the bills you’re paying for anyway?
One way of looking at it is what kind of life do you want? What would make you happy?
Sometimes people kill themselves working at jobs that have high salaries so they can buy all sorts of expensive material things to be able to live a lifestyle that will cost them their whole life to afford.
But if you know in your heart that you want something simple, like an apartment in the city that fits 2 or 3 people, a reliable car, enough to pay utilities, and enough to travel comfortably, then you’ll be able to gauge the finances you’ll need to sustain it, you’ll be more confident finding a job you like that can help you achieve the lifestyle you’re living.
After all, you work to live.
You’re more likely to avoid selling out just to “pay bills”.
