I have enough experiences to give advice when asked, but not enough to offer unsolicited wisdom.
Im old enough to have strong opinions, but young enough to still listen with an open mind.

30.
Johannes Wredenmark
I am the authority and Im also amorphous.
I feel behind and too far ahead.
I have a husband and two little kids.
Were settled and stable.
And yet, in some ways I feel younger than ever.
I spend my days in the park running around.

I roll on the floor and squeal.
My days are unstructured.
My 20s are over.
Those are the years of exploring, experimenting, and figuring out who you want to be.
The past 10 years hit me at an accelerated pace with exhausted stupors and caffeine-induced vertigo.
Now the momentum is stabilizing to a comfortable jog instead of a sweaty sprint.
I can devote time to writing.
I can sleep a solid six or seven hours at night.
I have enough experiences to give advice when asked, but not enough to offer unsolicited wisdom.
Im old enough to have strong opinions, but young enough to still listen with an open mind.
I have a core group of friends who buoy me and Ive cut out the Debbie Downers.
My 30s will bring more comfort with discomfort.
I can roll with whatever comes, knowing that at the end Ill rise to the top and float.
I used to be paralyzed by what ifs.
Now I dont think about whatmighthappen.
Bring on the 30s.
The scary, the crazy, the ups and the downs.
Ill eat what I want without worrying about the calories.
Ill make myself first again, for at least one hour a day.
And Ill enjoy the second hand of my watch beating to a tolerable tempo.
I lived in a cloudy frenzy and now the air is clearing.
