I Turn 30 Today

You only turn 30 once! Therefore, I ask that you all do me a favour and pump that good juice into the various algorithms.

A brief reflection on getting older…

I resent getting older, there is so much I want to do and even more I wish I’d done, but now crossing the three decade threshold into inarguable adulthood I feel younger than ever.

Every year since I turned 19 I felt time was slipping away like I hadn’t done or achieved an idea for what I should have. There is such an acute opportunity cost to time spent twenties. Years to set a foundation for a fulfilling career setoff against that sweet chasm of freedom.

I’ve got huge ambitions for my life and consequently felt repeated disappointment in failing to live up to them. We are always re-assessing where we are and what our future is going to look like. And although the feeling is constant, my reflections today for the future feel closer and more realisable than they ever have been before. Perhaps it’s the slow accumulation of unseen work that’s starting to pop or maybe it’s more in line with Soren Kierkegaard’s “life can be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards” but right now I feel stoked about the next ten years, and more and more understanding about how I’ve lived the last 30.
