being thirty
People warned me about being thirty: Hairs turn grey Metabolism changes and weight is gained Knees and back will start hurting Acid reflux and early bedtimes are part of life Forever being "29" Well I'm thirty. And maybe some of the warnings did come true, but I take pride in not letting it bother me. Not hiding the fact that I am in my 30's, and not thinking about being 30 since being 29 and everyone talking about it. Until now. I am thinking about being 30 now. Parts of it are not that great and do need a warning, but not what people were talking about. Warnings that are actually needed about being thirty: Parents are starting to age. Overnight stays in hospitals are going to start happening, and they require thoughtfulness and planning (did I pack a phone charger for myself and the patient, when do I get food, am I sleeping, are they sleeping, when should I go for a walk and when should I stay by their side?) You and your siblings are going to start parenting you...
