My fear of 30 was mostly the result of being raised to believe nothing is more important than success. I thought you had to have everything figured out by 30 and there was no room for mistakes after that. Which anyone older than 30 knows is complete shit. Anyone younger than 30 with the same belief, I'm telling you right now it's complete shit
I'm going back to school and in the process of changing careers at 40 because surprise, surprise the life path I chose at 14 doesn't reflect my grown up interests, life goals or the vastly different economy I live in today.
