winter blues all around me

i swear, everyone i talk to is in a funk. seems as though nearly every friend of mine is going through some crazy coming into adultism... we're all nearing 30 and i think most are freaking out. who knows if it's some internal clock reminding us we're not getting any younger or if it's a society thing telling us we must have it figured out at this point and time. that or maybe it's just the winter blues creeping in, making us reflect on our laziness (i know i haven't lifted a finger since nz. ugh!). got a good feeling it's a little of all those things. whatever it is, pretty much everyone i know (who isn't on some fabulous holiday at the moment) is going through the mid-mid life crisis.

yeah, i have all those feelings too. perhaps i'm surpressing them, the way i'm good at ignoring those thoughts. but i've got a surprisingly good attitude towards the whole thing. i've sort of been looking forward to 30 for a while now. the 20s were fun and all but they were tough man. not that it's getting any easier, but i do feel like i'm happy about the person i'm turning into. well, not totally, there's always room for self-doubt. but overall, i think i'm a pretty well-adjusted woman on my way to greatness. or at least happiness. that's all we can really ask for, right? so stop your sulking and remember good things are just 'round the corner.

my corny glass is half full optimism for the day.
*note to friends: but be prepared for my bitching about life any day now. ha!!

There's something to be said for living life in the "now". As long as you're enjoying yourself, and don't feel like you're stagnating, than you're doing fine. Everybody freaks out from time to time, but even when I do, I find myself in a great place in no time. “30” is coming in 7 months- BRING IT ON.

For those out there who feel the need to fit the traditional "30-year-old" stereotype, more power to ya! In the meantime I'm going to plan an Alaska trip for August...
