So it's the official close to the current blog title - in around 2 hours I officially turn 30 : s
I have to say the last year has gone really quickly and definitely since I started writing this blog earlier in the year.
So what have I learnt on the lead up to this milestone age:
- That it is not possible to do everything before your 30
- That I can still achieve goals and do new stuff (however big or small) if I am open to chances
- That I still need to improve my work/life balance and give more time to my family/friends
- That I'm not old, I'm just older
- That I become happier with myself, the more I make my life my own
- That I missed my writing and drawing and I shouldn't have put them on the back burner
- That I can be a creative all-rounder and get on in this industry without always being typecasted
- That I really want a job as a Copywriter/Creative, where I can put my array of skills to the test.
- That I really want to learn how to drive (as I feel I have been left behind on that one)
- That life is for the living, so LIVE IT!
So how am I currently feeling? Weird and pre-occupied. I just had a shower and when I got out to see my 30 year old body, I definitely thought "Tone up luv" lol.
I think back to how my 20s started. So young, so new to the industry I have now worked in for just over 11 years. At that age I thought I wanted to be married with kids by my mid-late twenties (and then realised that wasn't what I wanted, I wanted all that to come when I was ready) and still had pipe dreams of performing again (I hate working nights all the time, so it's a good thing that this disappeared, lol). At that age I had only just found my love for clubbing, so I was doing it all the time, instead of for birthdays and to cheer my friends and I up after a bad week. Things were simpler then and life seemed less scary and I am sure the post I received was a lot more exciting than now : s
I don't dislike this age though, as I feel I am a lot more confident then when I left college, I know what I want from life most of the time and I may not be as skinny as I was 10 years ago, but apart from some more exercise, I think I can live with it.
So, as you can imagine, the title of this blog will change. For now, I can't think of a great title so it will be Route to Happiness (mainly because I will continuing going for all the things I want, whilst observing things en route) and I don't want it to be Route to Forty at the moment (one milestone at a time, lol). There are two reasons I want to carry on with this blog (which I wasn't sure would be the case initially). One, it is a great way to practise my writing in a creative way but two, I feel it pushes me to strive for things I want (I don't want to be writing a blog just for the sake of it, I want it to have purpose and meaning).
Well, I'm going to leave it at that for now, as it is my birthday and I don't want to be tied to the computer all day.
Love and hugs to all the fab people in my life and see you on the other side : s

Me at 19, a few months before my 20th birthday.
