thrisis crisis WHY????????

As I was saying in my previous piece I had come to realize that I could actually be having the so called thrisis crisis and well on thinking and reading about it further I realized that a lot of the experiences others (who have written about their thrisis) were actually similar to mine. Why do people in their thirties go through this phase?

Well firstly when you are in your thirties you do not feel young BUT you are not old either. This is because you cannot pull all nighters hoping from club to club like you did in your twenties , and you are also not at that age where Bingo all of a sudden is your favorite game.

“When I grow up, I want to be …..” does not apply anymore because you are grown up, the question is are you that person you thought you would be? Most of us when we were younger you would be thinking that when you get to thirty certain things must be in place as to your position in life (professionally and personally) and when you get to that age and that is not the case you then start panicking or regretting some decisions you made. For some women and this I am talking from my personal experience you are overwhelmed with the amount of responsibility that you have at work and at home and I suppose that is where the term “super woman” came about. You have to give 100% at work, 101% at home as the kids need your attention and then are still expected to be a porn star in the bedroom. You question whether you are not giving the best part of your life to your job and in the process missing on the important milestones in the lives of your children.

Another thing that brings about this sense of confusion and panic especially to our generation could be the fact that our life expectancy is not as high as it was way back. Reaching this thirty milestone is HUGE and I suppose for some you feel like you are fast approaching the halfway mark and achievement wise weeellll you might not be there yet so you start feeling as though there is something wrong , when there really might not be.

One thing that’s for sure is that as much as turning thirty still remains a big deal to a lot of us, we should be thankful we reached it. Instead of regretting and imagining things that could have been, lets just take a step back because it is not too late to be what you could have been.Remember,it’s a brand new decade and unlike the twenties you will be a whole lot smarter,enjoy it.

Personally I have decided to do exactly what it is that my heart desires, I have made BIIIGGGG decisions because YOLO don’t you?

I will let you know what I am doing andhave done so far drasticsome may say but WORTH every minute if you ask me. Watch out for the next article and tell me how you are all copying withyour thrisis
