One of my friend - which also happens to be a very talented DJ - thought to do a mix about 'turning 30'. As I just turned 30, he asked me to write few words about how it feels. So I thought to share this with you, in case you are not 30 yet and you are wondering how it will be:)
First, I don't think you can talk about 30. Maybe you can talk about "before 30" and "after 30". Even though it's about only one day before and one day after. The exact day, the one when you turn 30, it's a mess. It's like having your period. You feel totally confused. On one hand you are happy for feeling the same as yesterday and realizing that THE BIG 30 is not so big actually, on the other hand you wonder why you don't feel what you should feel at this age: being more confident, more mature, with a double IQ (or triple if you are lucky), happy to have find your "true-self", etc. You appreciate everything but in the same time you wished that somebody would have had THAT BRILLIANT IDEA that will make you feel like being 20 again, that will show you that you did everything you wanted until 30, that will make all your wrinkles disappear, that will assure you that you will have a beautiful family soon, but also that you will have lots of fun too, etc. And that will make you thinner, smarter, and wiser. So, because this idea doesn't exist (although you really hoped that your boyfriend will find it if "he really loves you"), nothing is enough that day. And you wonder, what's wrong with you? And then you start smiling again thinking how moody women can be sometimes and how lucky you are for having so many great people around you, when you turn 30.
