i have 5 months before i reach the big 3-0. it's making me more depressed every second.
i used to have a lot of goals that i thought i would be able to do before i turn 30. but the stupid, idealistic me from before never thought that most of those goals are out of my control, or would be too grand to execute.
number one in that list was to be a housewife. obviously that's not gonna happen now and it's definitely out of my control. i need to find a husband first, which is also hard to control.
the second one was to tour Europe. i was able to go to Norway and Spain a few years back for a business trip. but where i've always wanted to go was to Paris, London and Greece.
now this second goal may still be possible to achieve. my only problem is that in the next 5 months, those cities would probably be frozen solid. and it will not be a very good idea to tour around when it's cold. this is the only thing keeping me from buying a ticket now (and secondary is the cost of the ticket!).
also, i've seen Taken! and the disadvantage of being single at this age with many married friends is that i currently don't have any Euro-trip mates yet. so i'm being paranoid of going on a trip alone. I don't have Liam Neeson or a former spy for a father, what will i do??
i don't know. should i just give up now? or come up with a relatively more practical goal like Jam's "six-pack abs"? maybe i can just skip forward to a mid-life crisis and buy a really impractical car (which i've also been considering lately).
how about you? what do you want to do before you turn thirty?
Don't give up! You can still go to Europe. Snow is good. Oh and Mapet and I can come and rescue you if you get kidnapped (we're secret spies) which I don't think would happen to you since you're not stupid enough to ride in a taxi with a stranger. :)
