I’ve always had this idea of what it means to be thirty.

To me, thirty has always been more of a destination than an age. At age thirty, I would breathe easier, live freer, and understand the world more deeply. At age thirty, I would have my shit together and the wisdom to navigate the world less anxiously.

But then, suddenly, I turned thirty, and the destination intimidated me.
