A week from today I'll be thirty-two years old. Am I ready? Yes and no. One, I kind of have no choice. Although who knows maybe someone will find the fountain of youth before I age another year.
Where did this year go? Heck where did my twenties go? It just seems like yesterday I was turning twenty-two. I still remember that birthday. I was in college and just finishing up the semester. Friends and I went out to celebrate.
What will I remember for age thirty-two? That's hard to say. I'm not the same person who can go all night and have a night out on the town. Although maybe if I get coffee or red bull in my system, I have a better chance.
I remembered when I turned thirty, I didn't do much. It was as if, after twenty-nine, you suddenly grow too old to be up all night.
Do you ever notice that? Now when you get with friends to throw a party, the party now ends at ten. Eleven, if you're lucky. What happens when we turn thirty. Is it a sign of growing older? Not a bad thing of course but it's like we know it's time to grow up. We can never look back. Neverland is a memory.
Of course now we get to experience something new. Now I can watch the TV show, Thirty-something and think,
ahh, I totally get it.
Overall, I don't mind that I'm turning thirty-two years old. It was bound to happen. I think the one thing that kills me is that I only have a week to do what I like to think of as my Bucket List before I turn a certain age. I do it every year. I tell myself I'll a do few things before I turn the next age.
This year, I wanted to lose at least fifty pounds. Unless I can pull a miracle, I'm not losing that much weight by Sunday. My next goal to be closer to finding an agent. Yeah, I'm still working on my self-published book. I haven't even thought about the book I want to try traditional publishing with. I did finally decide what story and theme I want to write. But can I get it done by Sunday? Probably not. Those two were just a couple on my list. Another big one for me was to fall in love. I didn't even have a crush this year. I went on a few dates but nothing happened.
I'm thinking of dropping the falling in love goal. I do it every year and yet nothing happens. They say you aren't to think about falling in love but I have tried that so we'll see. Who knows maybe it really is true. Maybe if I don't think about my Prince Charming, he'll come.
I'll probably keep the lose the weight goal but won't go as high. I should have the list of goals done by next week. I hope.
Did you have a goal for your birthday? Did you complete it?
