Yeah, it's better to look at your 30s as the start of something better than your 20s, rather than like... a descent into aging or something. Because things like health and medicine are so different now than they were even a few decades ago, we'll be living longer and healthier lives, anyway. I'm also glad to hear that you were able to leave that relationship. I've known too many people who can't get out of something like that and it always breaks my heart to see how it affects them.

Nothing too out of the ordinary, just going to get food and cake from places that I like and haven't had in awhile. As well, the last Fan Fest for FFXIV is going to be streaming live that night, so I'll be watching it with a few friends.

For awhile, I felt really sad that my 20s were almost over and that I felt like I accomplished so little during that time. But my older sister put it best; with the way the world is now, our 20s are like an extension of our teens with how some of us still have to focus on school, combined with getting ourselves together for adulthood. But our 30s is (usually) when things have started to calm down and we can finally start enjoying adult life. So now I'm looking forward to it more than fearing it. Obviously it's different for everyone, but I'm feeling confident that I can take better advantage of my 30s than my 20s.

Yep! I do enjoy it.

That's very true! I think I'd rather have a relaxed day-to-day than constantly hectic ones. Although everything always being relaxed does tend to get a little drab after awhile. I think I just need to have changes of pace now and then. I am quite excited though, as my birthday is coming up next Friday and I haven't actually been excited for a birthday in years! Maybe because it is my last year of my 20s or something so I want it to be a little more special.

Hi there! I've been doing pretty well! Not too much going on that's all that exciting, though. I'm glad to hear from you, though, and I hope things calm down relatively soon, if even a little bit!
