One day to go and it is already my birth month – June.
Filipinos associate the month with rainy season, opening
of classes and weddings. For me, whenever this month comes, I feel tensed at
the same time excited because I am getting older by age. Later on, I will
realize that age is just a number and be proud of it.
My entry to thirty
Nineteen days from now, I will bid goodbye to 29 and will
soon embrace that big 30! Most women who enter this stage will ignore the fact
that they are already in their 30s. Some will stop counting their age or shut
their mouths whenever they were asked for it.
What are my thoughts of becoming thirty? In all honesty, I
am scared. The thought that I am turning another year older entails me to
become wiser and more responsible everyday. My siblings consider my age as
old yet I do not consider myself as one because I am still young at heart and
in appearance (wink).
I am scared, yes. But in truth, I am thankful that I am
able to reach the age of 30. I consider myself as blessed because at this age,
I never seem to look like one. Thanks to the good genes.
Entering thirty means, more blessing will still come my
way. So many opportunities will be present because I am ripe with valuable
experiences of which I have surpassed for the past 29 years. Despite being ripe
for the age, I am still thirsty for I want to learn and grow more as an
individual.
In journalist’s jargon, 30 means end of a news or broadcast story. For me,
my story is just beginning. Better yet, I should say that a new chapter of my
life is just unfolding. Nevertheless, I am still keeping my high hopes of a
flourishing career, living a financially sound life, staying fit, healthy and
fabulous as well as having a blooming relationship.
Thankful at 30
At the end of the day, turning another year older is a
blessing that I have to be grateful of because things and situations will be
different every single day.
On that note, I have to live my life to the fullest and
keep thanking God for the blessing of life and being alive under His care
because I am His greatest masterpiece.
