17 Lessons I Learned During My 30s
06.09.2022
Over the Memorial Day weekend, I turned 40. Given that I am currently pregnant, there was no wild party or big trip. My husband and I journeyed 45-minutes from our home for a spa day and a nice dinner. I thought this would be disappointing, but honestly, it felt nice to relax and not make a big deal of things.
And as I sat on the balcony of our hotel room staring out at the lake below, I started thinking about the ways that I had changed since my 30th birthday. In particular, I thought about the lessons that I had learned (often the hard way). Here are some of those lessons.
Every woman hears two voices in her head when making a decision: the one that cautions you and the one that doubts you. Doubt is almost always wrong. Caution is almost always right. The trick is learning how to tell the difference.
Some love stories are magical first dates, whirlwind romances, and fireworks. Some are quieter and take longer to kindle. Neither is superior.
Eventually, it’s just time to quit. That doesn’t make you a quitter.
