Freaking out about my birthday

[DarkHippie]

<p>In a couple of weeks I'm turning 30, and I'm not happy about it.&nbsp; I feel like once I pass that mark I'm officially too old to have fun.&nbsp; Too old to hit on college chicks, too old to watch cartoons, too old to be my immature self.&nbsp; And i also keep looking back at what I've accomplished in 30 years and I've got nothing.&nbsp; I was supposed to have my first book published by now (and not by one of those lame do it yourself things, but by a real publisher) and I don't even have enough decent workto fill one book (I write short stories).&nbsp; I thought that maybe I'd be in a decent realtionship, maybe looking towards marraige.&nbsp; instead I'm sleeping with a chick who doesn't want to sleep with me anymore.&nbsp; I've let myself go.&nbsp; I've become slothful and apathetic.&nbsp; I'm really not happy with who I am.</p><p>And now I'm fucking 30.</p>

<p>Turning 30 sucked so bad. Im going to be 34 in 3 weeks and it sucks. Everything you said is exactly how I felt. I have been in a rut since turning 30. But something just clicked a couple of days ago. I dont give a shit anymore. If I want to date a 20 year old college girl, then I will. is I want to act stupid, then I will. I think Irealized you dont need to grow up just b/c your age. Until your married with kids just enjoy yourself.</p><p>30 the new 20 ?????</p>

Look at 30 as a starting point by this time next year you'll be in shape and get that book finished. Fuck the past, its over. The future is much longer and make it better. You have life live it.</p>

Bro... I turned 34 and I thought &quot;Holy shit...&quot; but you got to remember it's only numbers.&nbsp;It's like the N word... people like to &quot;classify&quot; shit and they use words and numbers to do it. You give a word or number power then your part of the problem. Just be you and let things fall as it may. You will at some point realize that you don't want to hang with 20-somethings anymore and that's OK... that's part of growing up.&nbsp; Things are not bad on this side... dare I say they are even better...

<p>I thihnk because of movies and TV you think 30 is so horrible. But I turned 30 four years ago and it was nothing. It doesn't change anything it's just a number.</p><p>Stop thinking about it and just enjoy another year of living. There is plenty more birthdays ahead and a chance to get things done.</p><p>Plus younger girls like older guys.</p>
