It is different now than it was when I turned 30. I have actually met and exceeded the modern bullshit milestones, something that had not even come close to when I hit 30. Despite the successes,  I have an odd discordant feeling. One I did not expect. It just came along about a month ago. It's different than the usual feelings I get toward my birthday - it's not the melancholic angst toward aging, or the signal of the end of summer and it's long amounts of sunlight melding into darker and colder days that accompany the fall/winter months. No, it is something completely different, something I have been unable to put my finger on, unable to attach a name. I can work on a solution for known problems.  I'm not the first to join the "Lordy-Lordy-I'm-Fucking-Forty Club", so at least I know that my head won't explode on my birthday, and I wont spontaneously burst into flames. Perhaps it is a later than usual mid-life crisis (I CERTAINLY don't plan on living until I am 80!)? I suppose I have a couple of months to figure it out..

Thing is, the number is arbitrary, it doesn't mean anything unless you're conditioned to these modern bullshit milestones where we are supposed to have achieved X amount by certain times in our life.  To hell with it. <div><br /></div><div><br /></div> We’re all hitting the age Dorkchick.  I’ve had numerous conversations with friends about this supposed milestone… Thing is, the number is arbitrary, it doesn’t mean anything unless you’re conditioned to these modern bullshit milestones where we are supposed to have achieved X amount by certain times in our life.  To hell with it.
