Embracing My 30's

Forget my previous post as you read this. As my 31st birthday approaches in just two days, I have made a new resolution. Usually when asked how old I am, especially by guys, I tend to answer with something like, “I’m a lot older than I look.” And then the person asking will say, “No really, how old are you? 22?” And then I say “No, I’m actually 30.” Then the look of shock ensues, followed by “Wow, but don’t worry, you still look young, blah blah blah.” What is the point of all this, really? Why have I felt the need to compensate for the fact that I’m no longer in my 20’s by saying I’m a lot older than I look? So I have decided that I am no longer going to say this. I’m just gonna come out and say, “I’m 31.” I will still get looks of shock no doubt, but I don’t need some random 23 year old boy assuring me that I still look young, when in fact, it’s my own self-assurance that matters. Hey, I guess you do grow wiser as you get older. Watch out 31, here I come.

I decided the same thing because as I’m sure you know, I go through the exact same scenario all the time—with men AND women. Unfortunately, I’m back to doing the same thing. I just still cannot accept it or say it outloud.
