As I went through the status update of a school friend of mine on Facebook which reads ‘last day in my 20’s ‘, I could not help wondering that is really age just a number? What is the big fuss about turning 30 then? Will the concerned person change overnight as she wakes up the day she turns 30? Will she age overnight and her face will be full of wrinkles or will she become wiser overnight? Nothing, right? Then why we people specially girls become so sad and freak out when we turn 30 whereas we remain just cool at 29? Does the real problem lie with our Indian outlook that a girl must get married in her twenties or no guy will marry you? Or are women all over the world actually freaked out at turning 30? What is the real truth ?
I personally feel that after turning 30, you enter the best phase of your life. You become serious in your life and leave all immaturities behind. You have already completed your education and you have already worked for few years or maybe even switched few jobs. You are economically more stable and pay all your own bills without asking your dad to help. You have already bought a house or a car or plan to do so in few years. On personal font, you know yourself so much better now. You totally know if or not you want to be in a relationship. And if you want a relationship, what exactly are the things you are looking for and what all are a strict no-no. You learn to say "NO". You do realize what adjustments are worth doing and what not. You have so much more clearer vision in your head about you , your life, things in your life.
The 20 year old me would do super crazy things, take silly risks and try out anything.....just anything. There was no worries, no stress...as if tomorrow does not exist. I had dreams of tomorrow...real big dreams. Today I am in that "tomorrow". I know much more about the world and about me as compared to my 20s. That does not mean I have turned all boring now, but I know my limits now and am mature enough to take better decisions. I know now when to stop and when to let go. So, growing older is indeed better :)
Today is the tomorrow I already dreamt and worried about yesterday :)
