Thoughts on Thirty

I don’t feel depressed about turning thirty. I think I dealt with any age-related depression a couple of years ago. 
Instead, I am excited to turn thirty! That’s because my last decade was amazing. Here is a list of the good stuff that happened to me from the ages 20 to 29:
- graduated high school
- started writing poetry
- discovered podcasting
- earned an Honours BA in English Literature
- held a steady job
- started to emotionally understand God’s love for me; started to yearn for heaven
- discovered a gift for tutoring and teaching
- made all the friends I have now!
Some of these things my seem basic, but each of these items is very meaningful to me. That list represents countless late nights, caffeinated mornings, deep breaths, ragged notebooks and resonating heartstrings.
I can hardly wait to see what will happen during my journey from 30 to 39.
