30 in 30 before 30!
That’s right, this year I’ll be thirty, flirty, and THRIVING!
I hear about a lot of people who dread turning 30, but I’m actually incredibly excited. Funny enough, I was the saddest to turn 20 because I was only 10 years away. My family also went to see that movie with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, Gravity, on my birthday.
I remember crying silently to myself in the theater. I thought this was definitely a metaphor because I was no longer a teenager. God, could I have been more dramatic?!
Thursday March 9, 2023 is exactly thirty weeks from my birthday, October 5th.
I wanted to do something special leading up to it, but I wasn’t really sure what. I did spend some time researching “THINGS YOU SHOULD DO BEFORE YOU TURN 30!” but a lot of the lists were doing things like skydiving, or other scary things. The other lists I found had a lot of things I’ve actually already done.
Ultimately, I’m not trying to prove anything to anyone. I am also very aware of how privileged I’ve been with everything I’ve been able to do before now. I don’t take that for granted.
So, sitting and trying to really think about what I wanted to come of this list. I decided I really just want 30 excuses to have fun and celebrate how beautiful life is!
This list might not look as daring as some people’s, or as grand and exciting, but that’s fine.
There are so many daring/scary, and exciting, things that will continue to be a part of my life. For this I want reasons to actively have a good time.
Maybe you’ll find some joy in this too, or if you have any great ideas please send them my way!
I decided that I reserve the right to change/update the list as I feel like I want to. It’s my list, hahaha! Also, some things may not be feasible… or work out, so I will do the full thirty, even if they have to be adjusted.
As items are completed I’ll update the list and the blog as we go.
You can follow it on my Instagram as well! Find me at @oddbirdbre
I do hope you’ll stick around!
Cheers, now let’s have some fun!
