8 things you only realize after hitting 30 years
30 is that age that scares most people. It’s the age that everyone thinks is ‘old’ yet we all want to remain young forever. So if you are in your late 20s, it’s normal to freak out and worry about hitting 30.
Your 30s come with more wisdom and realizations that you never had in your 20s. For instance, it’s only until you are 30 that you realize these things:
1. That your health is important
After hitting 30, it dawns unto you that you should have eaten better in your 20s and taken care of your health. You realize how much weight you have put on and how you can’t get rid of all the bad habits you picked in your 20s. And so you spend your 30s trying to correct the mistakes you made in your 20s.
2. That time is running
The other day you were only 21, and here you are now. This is when you figure out that there is so much you should have accomplished but still haven’t. You feel like you have an urgent need to achieve your dreams and be the person you dreamed of being in your teens.
3. That you don’t have to be married
If you are still single in your 30s, you realize that it’s okay to be single and happy than be in a bad marriage. You also realize that you at least need to have a kid because your fertility is not getting any better.
4. Small circles are better
Quality matters more than quantity in your 30s. In your 20s, all you want is to have hundreds of friends even if they are fake ones. But in your 30s, you would rather have a handful of loyal friends.
5. That you have no time to waste in relationships
Your 20s were about trying out new tricks, dating for fun, sex, and mere fantasy. But all these changes in your 30s. You will only want to be in a serious relationship with someone who is ready to settle.
6. That life doesn’t have to be what you pictured it to be in your earlier years
If you pictured yourself being a DJ or a model when you were 21, you realize in your 30s that you can still be a business person so long as it pays your bills and makes you happy. If you wanted to be married by age 26, you also realize that you can still be married in your 30s and make a happy family.
7. That you must forget about some dreams
Some jobs are so age-specific and it’s until you are 30 that you realize it’s time to forget about some dreams. When applying for jobs, you will notice that the only factor hindering you is your age.
8. That life is not a competition
You realize that you don’t have to be like your peers or do whatever they are doing. This is the age that you will be so comfortable by simply being you.
