Hey guys I’m 30
I turned 30 last month. I’ve been freaking out about turning 30 almost all of last year but it wasn’t too bad really.
Here are the good bits:
- Spent most of my birthday week drunk or hungover or both
- Birthday dinner at Marque (post on this coming, I swear)
- Second birthday dinner at Flying Fajita Sistas, where I forgot to take photos
- Bought the 15th anniversary K boxset as a present for myself
- People giving me lots and lots of booze as gifts
The bad bits:
- I’m 30
- “It’s all downhill from here!” type comments
- Confusion re wardrobe. Should I get rid of my young people clothes now?
- Noticeably slower metabolism
- Anxiety around mortality etc
Is this where I clean up my act and be a proper grown up?

Happy birthday again! And I have positives to share since I’ve turned 30:
- you can throw your age in people’s faces to prove your point/show that you know better/get your mum to stop nagging you
- I’m definitely more comfortable in my own skin than I ever was
- I’ve learnt to use it as a way of justifying my sometimes eccentric/silly/obnoxious behaviour
Unfortunately I have also noticed the metabolism slowing down… =(
Happy birthday Rose!!! Hope you had a good one! Your OH mentioned you guys went to Marque, sounds pretty fracking awesome
30 ain’t so bad.. I really loved turning 30 because then I could be like.. “grown up” seeing as I still look like i’m 18 on the outside. Have been 30 a couple of years now and yes, loving it. Embrace your slowing metabolism.. cos at least you still have one
