Definitely..... 30's is the new 20's

As I see myself and most of my friends starting a new chapter in life as we all step into 30, is there a sudden rage to do a lot many things than you anticipated? The bucket list unexpectedly seems to be the highest priority. 

I barely recall things that I wished for happened while I was in 20’s. Of course there always will be a few incidents that happened without much in your control. For now, let’s flush those off. I don’t have anything against all the twenty’s something but I honestly feel your 20’s aren't the best of years. 

30’s definitely yes. This is why….

When you try and find yourself as a person, making mistakes become inevitable. By that I don’t mean, you are all perfect and sorted when in 30’s. It’s  just that you get a lot more knowledgeable about stuff and make an informed decision rather than just assuming and then failing miserably and hoping the reverse assumption had worked. You have more direction towards what you want in life. This may sound cliched, but you definitely grow wiser as you get older. I say this not with the pretext of hair turning grey, but more on the lines of caring less about other people’s opinions of you and more about your own.

Women out there will love me for this and men surely will envy. Hell yeah, women in their thirties are smoking hot and a lot sexier. They exude confidence than ever before and play “I’m hot and I know it, whether or not you like it” on repeat mode in their minds. With the flair for creativity and experiment that they would have tried and tested enough in the past, they now get so close in understanding their bodies; exactly know what color, cut, fit in clothes suite them; how to make their tresses, what make up to be used. Elegance becomes prime importance than being flashy and weird looks. Taking care of the body as a place of worship is what it would be called. This only means there’s a new burst of feeling young and youthful and why not, after all age is just a number.

For having caught up in many situations in the past, by the time you’re in your 30’s one thing for sure come’s to realization is no matter what the situation, there definitely will be some life-changing twists and turns that you as a person will embrace and learn to live by. You’re wise enough to make friends who genuinely nurture and care about your friendship, love and affection and reciprocate it in the same way if not better. You unabashedly perform a cleansing act when you know someone is not important to you minus all the guilt. Yes, guilt free living becomes the mantra of your life.

You truly realize the meaning of Me Time which allows you to unplug from everything around you and just be yourself. Complimenting yourself puts a smile on your face which in the earlier ages fished for “likes” and “double taps” on social media. You no longer wait for a convincing compliment and neither does a criticizing remark brings down your morale.

And finally, you do get to a point to crack intelligent jokes. Like famously quoted, you learn to CYA
