thrisis

So I just finished reading an article in a magazine about how emotional turning thirty can be for women (they call it a thrisis). I can definitely say that it is a nagging thing in the back of my mind. I'm going to be turning 29 this year so I have a bit of time left to worry about it. The magazine described it as sort of a midlife crisis except that you still have the power to completely change your life. There are so many expectations of what you should have or have had accomplished by this time and its scary when have none of these things have happened yet. The article mentioned that us ladies are a lot more ambitious and expect to have everything that previous ladies in their 50 have accomplished by the time we are thirty. That is a huge pressure. They also mentioned a saying that I really liked that is meant to help us out;

You can have it all. Just not all at once.

That is pretty liberating. Also the article mentioned that you can turn the trauma of turning 30 into a good experience by judging what is and is not working with your life and what you can do to accomplish some of the things that are important to you.

thats all.



This song definitely speaks to me and where I am in life right now.
