My thoughts on turning 34 today

Today I turned 34 years old. Wow that happened fast. Its not as bad as I thought it would be. I remember thinking when I was 14 years old that the 30's were going to suck. Well to be honest I would rather be in my 30's anyday than be in my 20's again. THAT SUCKED!!! I have come to think that your 20's are nothing but a confusing ten years that haunt you for the rest of your life. Well most of the ten years. You really don't know yourself....you know what I am talking about...the deep parts of your soul. I have realized that in your 30's you come to understand all the things about you that you could never figure out before. What you can deal with and what you can't. Who you can love and who you can't....and last but not least all the things that have made you who you are..good and bad..you can finally sort it all out and put it somewhere else other than in the hard parts of your heart that just weigh you down and nag at you when you need it the least. I have learned that you need to love what you have and hold on to it for dear life. You only get so much time on this earth to love and to be loved. So I will do my best to love harder, enjoy the moment more...and to smile alot.....aaannnddd try to keep my temper and hard headedness under control. That may take me until my 40's to get right.
