So here's the deal, last June I turned 30. There was no massive party or fan fare.....I just wasn't in the right place. And also, maybe I'm actually a bit of an introvert - the thought of being centre of attention makes me feel excited and sick at the same time, but mostly sick!
Sometimes this blogging world is scary - for me it's an online journal where I get to talk about the good, the bad and the ugly. I started blogging when I hit a low in 2012. I love to write and felt that it was somewhere to be positive about the future. I still feel the same way about it, just maybe it's time to get real. I don't want this blog to solely be a "highlight reel" of my life. Although I am a very lucky girl, and I have a great time, but it's not always the way it may seem. We've all had, and are maybe going through, our fair share of tough times.
Recently I've had a few girlfriends tell me about friends who are going through heartbreak-hell, and for similar reasons to where I've come from. I'm not sure if it's the timing but it's made me look at my life and realise that everything really does happen for a reason, although it may not feel like it in that moment.
On my 30th Birthday I was full of confusion, my life didn't look like what it was "supposed" to look like. Wasn't I supposed to be married (or at the very least engaged) with a wonderful career and children on the horizon?! I was nowhere near any of these, and when you hit a milestone the realisation of where you are in life comes and slaps you full-force in the face.
If you're turning 30 this year, just be kind to yourself. Maybe your life doesn't look like everything you imagined it would but I bet you it will all turn out exactly as it's meant to. You will look back on this time and think "Oh....that's why".
For me, my 30th year has represented some highs and lows, but it has mostly been a year of acceptance.

And this is quite simply the best piece of advice ever, you never get to be 30 again - enjoy it!!
Let's see what the last few months of being 30 brings, eh? x
