I'm turning 30 soon
Wow, that pretty much sums up everything I went through growing up!
I'm sure you'll be OK. Welcome to WP!
Thanks! I've worked in teaching/education mainly. Yeah, I try to get out of the house as much as possible and keep busy (not easy currently!).
It's nice to know that I'm not alone!

That's a very important sector of society and not for everyone. I wish you the best as we seek to rebuild after this difficult time. life feels as if it's on hold for the next available operator!
I'm keeping busy listening to many hours of downloaded music, watching lots of videos, movies, shows and documentaries, playing online Scrabble, writing and a few other things.

Thanks! Yeah, I'm trying to keep busy as well. I'm trying to plan some fun stuff for next year as well so I don't feel bad about turning 30.
I just turned 30, and I'm having a fantastic time! Aside from my back hurting and ankles sometimes achey and not willing to work properly! Haha. But my life is FINALLY starting to come together. I feel like I'm at least 10 years behind my peers, if that makes sense. But I'm accepting that. I am more accepting of myself and who I am, and I have no self-loathing these days. It feels good to be free of it. I have a lot to look forward to, despite all of the setbacks so far.

I'll be 30 next week. I don't know where the last decade has gone. But I don't want to turn 30. I want to be in my 20s forever. If this next decade goes as quick as the last, then I'll be 40 in a blink of an eye, and they say time goes quicker the older you get.
I remember last year when my cousin turned 30 someone jokingly said "you're a proper adult now". So I think people in their 20s are lucky because they're adult enough to do what they want but young enough to get away with still being a bit naive, experimenting, living it up, even acting like teenagers. Like my boyfriend's nephew is 30 and does weed and everybody criticises him and says he's "too old" to do drugs, but his 23-year-old niece does weed too and people are like "oh dear, silly little girl."
30 just feels like an age where you have to have your life in order, and if you don't, people think there is something wrong with you.

It was around my late 20s when I started looking into tarot cards Every time I'm at the bookstore or browsing Amazon, I always wind up finding another deck to buy. Honestly, I think I just enjoy collecting them more than reading with them. There are 20+ decks in my collection so far, but there's only one that really "speaks" to me and gives me pretty straight answers.

I'm the same way, I always buy my decks based on how nice I find the artwork I've never bothered buying some of the decks that tarot enthusiasts call "quintessential decks" solely because I don't like the art.

@TelecasterPlayer I read what you said and I can relate to it. I'm 31 and I feel I have a ten-year lag as well. I've lived by myself for three years now (other than college) but I've never had a job or a relationship and I feel like my experiences and achievements are 10 years behind everyone else's. I'm hoping advances in medical technology will increase lifespan enough in my lifetime to give me those 10 years back at the end.
