Thirty years old in the best age.
When you were twenty, you were ignorant and insecure. You didn't know the first thing about yourself and what could possibly make you happy. You were stuck in wrong relationship, spending way too much energy on unimportant things, and forbidding yourself to dream big. You were pennyless and lost, but pretending to be strong. Youth is not this golden age the media massively say it is.
So you made your way through the tricky 20's and here you stand, in your glorious 30's. You're achieving your dreams. Or you just realized that some dreams were not worth coming true. You gave up the funny idea to try to make people around happy; now you prefer thinking that you need to make yourself happy first, and that people who really care about you will be happy to see you happy. You still cry sometimes but now you know that there's no need to pretend : you are strong and victorious, whatever it seems to be.
Growing old is a privilege many people couldn't and still can't afford. It's not given to everyone to learn about yourself, to finally appreciate yourself, to be thanksful to live a real life. There is no better reason to celebrate.

Let's be passionately 30 years old. Let's make the next 30 years the most extraordinary. Let's be 30 years old for all the people who couldn't.
