I’m reaching my thirties, and I feel the weight,
A sense of time slipping, it’s never too late.
Yet, in moments of quiet, I can’t help but see,
A part of me wondering what happened to me.
The trends are new, and I’m feeling out of place,
The world moves so fast, it’s a dizzying race.
I scroll through my phone, but the songs have changed,
The faces are younger, the styles rearranged.
In my twenties, I felt like I had it all right,
Chasing dreams, full of passion and light.
Now, the path feels different, the road is a bit long,
I question if I’m still where I truly belong.
But then, I pause, and I look within,
This feeling of “outdated” is where growth begins.
For wisdom comes not in the trend or the style,
But in learning to live with grace for a while.
I’ve lived through moments that shaped who I am,
Each scar, each triumph, a part of the plan.
The beauty of aging is not in what’s gone,
But in knowing the journey has only begun.
So, as I step into my thirties, with thoughts in a swirl,
I realize I’ve still got so much to unfurl.
Outdated? Perhaps, in a few passing trends,
But my soul is timeless, with much more to transcend.
For happiness lies not in the race or the pace,
But in living each moment with a smile on your face.
The world may be changing, but so am I,
And that’s the true beauty, as the years go by.
Well said! Embracing change and finding grace in the journey of our thirties—this really resonates. Thanks for capturing these feelings so perfectly!
