Well, I'm officially 30 and I feel... relieved.
I am ready for steadiness, maturity, and just living.
The past couple of years, and for whatever reason, I have used turning 30 as milestone to get my life in order and hammer out some goals that I have for myself - long term. Or more accurately, to justify any terrible mistakes that I have made on being in my 20's. I can honestly say that I have lived my twenties to its full potential.
A week and a half in, I feel calm. I had my bi-annual review at work, which was way to help me improve as a person rather than objectively. I am more outspoken, I curse at my desk, I cannot contain my frustration, and have become rather unorganized. I am pretty excited to focus on me, so much that I took a risk last Friday, that I am quite thrilled about. I dyed my hair! For anyone, you may laugh or sigh, however this is a big deal for me. Ever since I was 16 I had the same hair. Shoulder length, basic trim with layers, bang not always included, just to throw it up in a bun 98% of the time. I've had highlights before, but nothing noticeable, in the sense that my husband or my mom tell the difference. $150 dollars out the window. But now, I have vibrant red- ombre!
This was not a real goal of mine, but something that I decided on the fly. While I try to mend myself over the next decade, while contemplating whether I want kids, and studying for my licensing exams, and finishing off my student loans, I think having a little fun with my hair is manageable. See for yourself!
Here's to being 30!
