Just to show that I am not a Pollyanna who only sees the good in things (and people) I’ve dedicated this morning to the stereotypes and the reasons why “society” tells us that turning 30 is a negative.
Your body will fall apart
You won’t be able to have children
More women are in therapy at 30 than any other age
Men only want young, skinny women
Your best years are behind you
You can no longer run, dive, enter beauty pageants, become a ballerina, start modeling professionally, become a celebrity, etc.
Prodigies will surpass you at work
You have to make sacrifices to have it all
You are getting old
You are no longer interesting
You can no longer have fresh ideas
Your friends are all coupled up and have no time for you
Babies, bottles and burping is all you have to look forward to
You are now on the assembly line of hard work for little satisfaction
You have to work at work you hate
This list is just a few of the things I heard in the two years before I turned 30.
My hope is that after reading this list you’ve come to one conclusion. These are RIDICULOUS and so far from your reality that there is no reason to fear turning 30 any longer.
