30 Lessons for My 30 Years + Fun Facts About Turning 30

Hey Learner.

Has anyone here turned 30 recently?

Well, I did and I am super elated about it.

I turned 30 on 7th Jan 2024.

What comes with it is a sudden wave of maturity and responsibility.

I can confirm this, not because it’s what 30-year-olds say but because it happens, literally.

It’s a blessing to have made it this far.

I have lived in the era of 4 presidents. What??

Someone, twice my age is reading thing this and probably going, “You’ve seen nothing yet.” lol.

Let a girl celebrate.

I have picked a couple of lessons along the way but before I share my lessons, here are some fun facts about turning 30.

 

  • 30 years means 3 decades! Shocker!
  • You have an increased attractiveness due to increased confidence and self-awareness.
  • Your discernment spikes- You can easily detect inconsistencies and manipulations from people leading to more peaceful living.
  • You become better at prioritizing meaningful relationships and saying no to those that don’t build you up.
  • You make friends for life.
  • You don’t always ‘got’ it, some slip through the cracks.
  • You make choices that align with your values and goals.
  • You get to mentor those younger than you. How cool is that?
