Turning 30 was a bit of a moment for me, firstly because I was leaving my boyfriend behind in his 20's but secondly because I just didn't feel ready!?
I freaked out, I cried, my anxiety went through the roof.. and then slowly I decided to accept it. After all, I had a very exciting year ahead what with searching for our first home.
One day I sat down & wrote a sort of bucket list, 30 things I wanted to do by the time I reached 31, some of the things are obviously fairly specific for me, but you get the jist and more than welcome to use the list yourself for when your day comes... or maybe as a new year thing?
Over the year I'm slowly working through the list but keep reminding myself about number 14, there's no pressure. This is for you and nobody else.
