turning thirty

A week and a day ago, I turned 30. It was not such a momentous occasion, although I certainly enjoyed celebrating in Vilnius (Lithuania) with friends and colleagues at an international folklore conference

Sorry I don't comment much, as I don't usually feel I have anything to add. But I really dig your thought processes sometimes and they often give me perspective on something I'm struggling with at the moment.

My birthday is tomorrow and the past year has certainly held some shifts. I've really begun focusing on self care, especially losing weight and my entire mindset about how I deal with food and society. There's been a lot of digging deep and examining baggage, mostly stemming from bullying in my youth and early teens. It's a deep and dreary mess that I've worked through, but I believe I've found the other side and have a much healthier attitude!

Don't know you, but... Happy Birthday and Rock on with your bad self! Sounds like you've got some good stuff brewing and are chucking out the old and unnecessary. That's the best kinda weight to lose!

Best of luck!

Thank you for the birthday wishes, and I hope your birthday was also wonderful!

I'm glad that my writing helps lend perspective. And yes, I think a lot of healthy thinking (and healthy eating) is counter-intuitive because of all the social conditioning we receive to the contrary. I wish you well on your journey of self care!

The best freakin year of your life. It is what you will make of it and I know you will make it great. :)

Having followed you on here for years....

If there is one thing I have learned it is that once you set your mind to do something you DO it. You don't let anything get in your way. :)
