Life is better in simplicity Nov 14

This September I completed 32. When I was 29 and was about to hit 30, I was scared to death. I didn't had any specific reasons but entering into the 30s made me feel sick.

I turned 30 and realized age is just a number. Every single day from there is a road to wisdom, badass who doesn't give a shit about anything. Anything means the things that doesn't matter.

This is how I look at 32 with zero makeup but a little bit effect of DSLR camera.

The downsides are constantly falling hair that gives panics sometimes and little bit of fine line appearance but this is what everyone goes through and I guess it is just a normal thing I might be overreacting at.

The most good thing about growing up are so many.

1. You don't give a shit about what people think about you.
2. You stop pleasing people even to the closed ones and let people decide themselves to love you or leave you. You don't compromise to be yourself anymore.
3. You priorities yourself first, always! I have learned self-love is the most important and powerful thing in life as we spend maximum amount of time with ourselves. So it is mandate to love ourselves.
4. You don't party late. You choose a 9 hours goodnight uninterrupted sleep instead that glows your skin, mood and health the next day.
5. Junk food? Goodbye! Your body can't digest it even if you crave for it so you avoid mostly.
6. You have all the time for yourself. You reach a stage in marriage and motherhood that certain things are sorted. For instance, kids are going to the school and are busy with their interests so you pamper yourself, read, cook good meals, walk a mile or two to burn the calories, talk to your unpaid therapist who lifts up your mood and be satisfied with your life in simple pleasures.
7. You understand self-respect, love and peace is above all.
8. You don't have to make excuses to the people you don't want to hang out with as everyone is busy at your age and nobody cares.
9. You priorities growth, health, mental well-being,sanity above all.
10. You understand life is too short and all this big house, luxurious cars, materials are all just a trap to tire you up and not let you enjoy the ride. So you are grateful for life for whatever it is and be genuinely happy.
