BY 30, YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. How to fall in love without losing yourself. I think I have finally figured out that
2. How you feel about having kids. I want one child.
3. How to quit a job, break up with a man and confront a friend without ruining the friendship.
I dont know how to confront a friend properly as yet, because I am very blunt and it will come out wrong. But I need to do it soon because I am going CRAZY!!
4. When to try harder and when to walk away. Still learning this
5. How to kiss in a way that communicates perfectly what you would and wouldn't like to happen next. The only person I kissing is my boyfriend, so to me, this doesnt count.
6. The names of: the secretary of state, your great-grandmother and the best tailor in town. I know the name of my own seamstress. She's expensive but great.
7. How to live alone, even if you don't like to. I have lived alone already and I LOVED it!!
8. How to take control of your own birthday. I always do some sort of introspection on my birthday
9. That you can't change the length of your calves, the width of your hips or the nature of your parents. The nature of my parents....this is an issue that I have to deal with. I keep saying Why didnt they do this or why didnt they do that....but I have to make my own life now.
10. That your childhood may not have been perfect, but it's over. *sigh*
11. What you would and wouldn't do for money or love. I am not against hard work nah...
12. That nobody gets away with smoking, drinking, doing drugs or not flossing for very long. HA! I dont floss.
13. Who you can trust, who you can't and why you shouldn't take it personally. Beginning to learn this the hard way.
14. Not to apologize for something that isn't your fault. True
15. Why they say life begins at 30. Heh....
BY 30, YOU SHOULD HAVE:
1. One old boyfriend you can imagine going back to and one who reminds you of how far you've come. I have the second....no one could compare to the boyfriend I have now. He's the best!
2. A decent piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in your family. My computer desk????
3. Something perfect to wear if the employer or man of your dreams wants to see you in an hour. Yes I have that
4. A purse, a suitcase and an umbrella you're not ashamed to be seen carrying. I have to get my own suitcase yes.
5. A youth you're content to move beyond. My youth wasnt that bad.
6. A past juicy enough that you're looking to forward to retelling it in your old age. HA! Not really nah. I have given amusement to my friends with some of my stories, but nothing 'juicy'.
7. The realization that you are actually going to have an old age—and some money set aside to help fund it. Planning for that all now....
8. An e-mail address, a voice mailbox and a bank account—all of which nobody has access to but you. I have all three
9. A résume that is not even the slightest bit padded. I have that too
10. One friend who always makes you laugh and one who lets you cry. Yeah I have that all wrapped up in one. :)
11. A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill and a black lace bra. I really dont need the tools. I'll pay someone to fix my stuff
12. Something ridiculously expensive that you bought for yourself, just because you deserve it. I just cant do it!! I cant spend an obscene amount of money when I am saving for a house.
13. The belief that you deserve it. I treat myself to other things that arent so expensive.
14. A skin-care regimen, an exercise routine and a plan for dealing with those few other facets of life that don't get better after 30. I am going to start tae bo seriously this term.
15. A solid start on a satisfying career, a satisfying relationship and all those other facets of life that do get better. I am on track with these things.
