unperturbedly thirty
my birthday cake last night, the waitress approached our table with the cake asking "who is the grandmother?" giggles!!!!
i've finally stepped into the scary age boundary - the big three o, moving towards "middle age".
but i dont feel aged at all, in fact - i've never been happier. the uncertainties that cloaked my eyes, the dark rage that gripped my core and all the insecurities that buzzed in various corners of my soul, the bitterness - all have been stripped away. i am finally free. my heart is clear and open, and i have laughter in my life, everyday.
i still have the same curiosities - plus the means the sate them. i have good people in my life, whom i appreciate deeply, and i am blessed with friends who'll stick around what come may. my family, as always, is steady as a rock, and very encouraging of my nomadic tendencies - which is intensifying as we speak. i will be travelling much harder, and rougher.
i have no issues being single, and thirty - a state that might gnaw at the core of most females. i am just happy being happy, and grateful for all good things that i've gathered into my life so far.
most of all - i feel like a good person.
it's a damn good feeling to have, and an immensely liberating phase to be in. if this is what it means to be thirty, then bring it on.

i'm gonna be thirty next year, and even now when people consider myself somewhat like an expired goods, i can't be bothered. I believe my 29years have been well-lived compared to those who have wasted their time harping on my age. :) you're as old as you feel :)
