kindest Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 When I was younger, I would picture myself as a 30 year old woman, what I would be like, what I'd be working on, what I'd look like... Now that I'm turning 30 in a month, I ask myself... Did I turn out to be the woman I pictured myself to be? At the moment, I am single (just got out of a relationship), not dating anyone. I like what I do for work, but I hate my work environment, I'm starting to resent my boss and one of my co-workers, I work my a*s off, I don't have enough free time to start job hunting, and I'm losing the passion that I've always had for work. To top it all off, I have almost zero savings. I don't want to be stuck this way. I want to take the steps to improve my life but my current situation just won't let me. I don't want to end up like a zombie, a girl who has had life sucked out of her. There are times I just want to leave it all behind, escape to some strange place and start all over again. Anyone else feeling this way? Better yet, anyone out there who went through the same thing but turned his/her life around? I just want to feel inspired, and maybe how other people changed it up can give me the motivation to pick myself up and finally do something. Link to post Share on other sites
Ruby Slippers Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Here's a book I read right after I turned 30, 5 years ago, that I found pretty helpful: Midlife Crisis at 30: How the Stakes Have Changed for a New Generation - And What to Do about It This is an older classic, about some of the life stages and crises we all go through: Passages: Predictable Crises of Adult Life I feel like I really started to grow up around 30. It's been hard, but definitely worth it. Link to post Share on other sites
