    I turn 30 tomorrow and I'm not taking it so well.
    Any tips out there from any the women on here who already have, in making it a little easier?

    That was so long ago. I don't recall it as big deal, it's just a number. Now, turning 50 was great! It just gets better and better.

    yeah I'm struggling with it a little. I feel things are not as tight as they use to be. Things just don't look good on. And in general just feeling little old and unattractive

    I just turned 33. Yikes! I didn't take it well. Of course, my body isn't what it was at 20, BUT...it's actually better. I have the maturity and knowledge of how to take care of myself better now than I did 10 years ago. I'm in the best shape of my life and my body is better than it's ever been. You can't fight age, but you can take care of your body.

    For me, it was more of a stability thing. I don't own a house, have kids (was single until a few months ago), I just felt like life was passing me by as all my friends got married and had kids. But really, it's all about priorities and what you want out of life. When I came to the realization that my life was going the way I wanted it to and that I was happy...being 30 was actually pretty nice.

    It's but another number! Didn't bother me at all. What I felt was that "more excitement is ahead of me", hence, I was so thrilled at that moment. And maturity-wise, I noticed the difference.

    I will never forgot the night I turned 30 - I had my on-of-a-kind (very unforgettable) evening with my fiance.

    I'm not a woman. And i'm not 30.

    But life is what you make it. And age is a state of mind.

    Things keep getting better with age as far as I'm concerned. More friends, more knowledge (tacit & interpersonal), more nieces and nephews, and h&ll not gonna lie, more earning power and toys.

    Don't focus on the number. Focus on your life...what you've accomplished. If you don't think you've accomplished much...focus on what you want to accomplish.
