30 by 30

So here’s the thing. When I was young, I thought I’d have my life figured out by 25. I’d be married, have kids, a job, a flat/house and whatnot. Or generally, I’d have my life together. The early 20s were hard for me (for many reasons). I increasingly felt bad about not having anything together. It was only around age 27 when I started to actually figure out what I wanted to do, who I wanted to be and who I wanted to spend time with. And that’s OK!

I’m not scared of turning 30. I think it’s going to be the continuation of my wonderful adventure. But since it is a bit of a turning point, I decided to make a “30 things to do by 30” kind of list. I always start writing bucket lists and then forget them, so this is a project to actually go and do things.
