Go up from here!

Read an article about turning 30:)

Truth is, turning 30 carries with it a certain sadness. Not everything is still available at the buffet table. Your fallback guy you figured you could always end up with? He might be married to someone else by now. Your dream of running off to live in Hawaii? If you have a baby at 30, it just may not happen. Damn it, you’re even too old to be the next American Idol! It’s OK to mourn a bit while also honoring the decisions you made to get where you are. Take it from Rebecca, 30, a tech entrepreneur in San Francisco: “I thought that by 30, I’d be married with kids. I’m not, and so on my birthday I wondered, Have I failed at life? But I look at the stuff I’ve accomplished: I got my M.B.A., have an exciting job and have my own apartment. I feel much happier and confident in my thirties than I did in my twenties, and I imagine it only goes up from here.”
