This conversation occurred between myself and a friend. With 2009 being such a year of change for all of us, the general sentiment and mood has altered dramatically over the transitional past 12-18 months or so.
And looking back, those Twenties were characterized by such a sense of rush, that roller-coaster ride with ups and down and unexpected maneuvers. Yet direction didn't always feel clear-cut and more often than not, it felt like a long search for many unsolved answers to life's questions. Emotions and fervor ran high, although cynicism also set in quickly.
The Thirties, however, feels like a chilled afternoon in a beach chair, with a book and pina colada / magherita / whisky (whatever your drink of poison may be). There is less of a search and need to attain all those ideals held close and dear in our once naive hearts. Understanding sets in, as is the belief that life is meant to be enjoyed, and not suffered in angst.
In those Thirties, life becomes realigned with peace, retrospection, and a greater sense of inner calm. Being comfortable enough to be yourself, rather than living up to the expectations of others.
No wonder people say women in their thirties are attractive. Because they are confident, spend to make themselves feel good, and know exactly what they want.
The sense of self-assuredness sure is liberating.
