I try to celebrate every birthday exactly the way I want to. Usually I make sure to be on a holiday, but when staying at home it's waking whenever I want, eating whatever/wherever I want and treating myself (a little).

All other special occasions are usually celebrated with food, because I've got issues.

I turned 33 this year and I’m way more fine with it than I thought. I love my 30’s so far bc I give wayyyy less fucks than I ever did in my 20’s

Ooooh tell me how you got to that point bc I’m only two years in and my 30s have been emotional as hell. Pls say something clicks once you turn 32 lol

For me it was the get over it. If you are alive you have a leg up on millions. So you age and we all do. It’s not youth that ever bothered me it’s watching those I love get older too that’s hard. We are all aging all of us and if you don’t its cause your dead. So unplug if needed, stop killing yourself for the unattainable, and try your best to live your life focusing on people and experiences.

I'm not even the oc but this is great advice. I'm glad I read this today.

For some reason I imagined her being a lot older than me than that. Damn, none of the cast of Gossip Girl are as old as I think they are! Why did they seem so old?

[nebbysbag]

I'm guessing because they all looked too old to be playing high school students or college freshmen. We all prob assumed they were much older than they were just because of that.

Now that I'm in my 30s I've become so much more aware of celebs who are also in their 30s and only a couple years older than me lol. Like they used to seem so much older but now it's like we're practically the same age and it's weird!

I've never had a "grown-up" party so I think that or at least a dinner with close friends for my 30th this year would be great. Or I just want to treat myself to a nice new handbag lol.

My aunt somehow convinced my very clueless dad that I need to start having a valuable jewelry collection (???) so he got me lab-diamond earrings. I'm very thankful for them obv but I was very surprised lol and my aunt was like "no more handbags, you're turning 30!!" like idek what that means??? Another aunt was like "you need to have a portrait of yourself painted" I guess we're living in the 1870s and I'm May Welland.

[ms_mmelissa]

Ummm, IDK you aunt seems pretty amazing, I would love some diamond earrings and an official portrait of myself.

Send her to me, all my aunts do is tell me I should be married by now!

[__papillon]

Lol well they do all of that too, I think Aunts are universal this way lmaooo.

[evett]

Starting a fine jewelry collection I get. But I'm dying @ you needing a painted portrait
