30s….The New 20s!
Posted by Jen, under Things That Make Me Happy, things that make me sadIt was my birthday last Sunday (there was a birthday post but my photos wouldn’t load so I gave up – I will try it again though) and despite the fact that I’m still quite a way off 30 you do have to wonder what things will be like.
I’ve said for a long time that my 30th birthday party will be a sombre occasions, everyone must dress in black and there will be a funeral service (for the death of my 20s), but actually, I don’t think it’s going to be that bad!
Something has changed….and not just for me.
I think we are putting too much pressures on ourselves to make our 20s the best time of our lives. When actually, that doesn’t have to be the case. Your 20s are for establishing yourself. Finishing college / university, finding a career path or your dream job, having fun and being fickle! You don’t have to party every night but you also don’t need to find a significant other…you’re not going to shrivel up and disappear if you don’t have a guy or girl before your 30!!
I was gchatting with a blog buddy the other day and we both agreed that the recession has really made things a lot harder on our generation. Maybe our 20s would be the best years of our lives if we weren’t too wrapped up in worrying about money and whether you’re going to lose your job in cutbacks.
So, I’ve decided to cancel my funeral and possibly live my 30s like I’m a teenager again (but without the bad fashion (which never happened to me) neons (that also never happened to me) and lots of other things (that quite obviously never happened to me).
What do you think has gone wrong with our 20s?
