A friend turned 30 yesterday. And, with all my years of experience ... I told her that the best advice I could give her was something along the lines of:
When your in your 20s people expect you to make mistakes. They forgive you. People believe that you are in the stages of your life that you are still learning from your lessons, and still able to have a bit of fun.
When your in your 30s... well, people expect you to stand up for the person that you have become. They will become to know the real you. Your morals, ideals, etc. And, if you want to be the person who is shy & stands below all and not speak your mind.. .this is the time to do it... you are setting in motion the rest of your life. However, if you are a person who wants to speak what they say, stand up for oneself & others, then you must, as people will come to expect you to react & act in a certain way from here on out... depending how you are in your 30s.
This is the time to shine. This is the time to make your life happen. To enjoy the roses along the way, to have the fun & good times (with more smarts than previously! HAHA) and to sculpt your life & world to your desires.
So, that was my advice to her. What advice would you give her?

For the most part, my friends and family can see what I might be up to in the days events. Or, for sake of sakes, its all made up... only i know.. and MAYBE a select few of you! Either way~ I am an American living in Australia. Oh, and any photo you see on this blog IS NOT FOR YOUR USE. If I have taken the photo myself or have permission to use it, YOU CAN NOT USE IT FOR YOURSELF. So be warned... and just dont use my damn photos.

My advice? You are not the person you will become until you are in your thirties.
I didn't start thinking -- really thinking -- until I was in my 30's. Your opinions become more prominent; your views more widespread. No longer are you seeing things just through your own eyes. World events become more meaningful and your understanding of right and wrong become more black and white.
Your 20's were about the fun (even if you don't think so right now), your 30's are about becoming a more introspective, meaningful person.
Congrats, and CHEERS!
Ah GooChick.. thanks for that! Great advice! I will pass it on!
