Dear 30 Year Old Self

By the age of thirty I must be feeling old, even though it's not that big of a number there are events in life that must be having you tired by now. Thinking thoroughly about it like wow its been almost one third of your life gone. I hope that by now you have done all that you wanted to do, such as finish undergrad and grad school. Hopefully you have pursued being a nurse practitioner and are working in the hospital. I've always wanted to be a Pediatrician and I hope your still trying to get your masters in it. I hope all the choices you make have made you happy. If your not happy then you should re-evaluate the decisions you have made and are still making. One of my accomplishments would be to have a successful life and career. I don't plan on having children or a family of my own since I don't want to get married but if I have changed my mind by the age of thirty then that would be very surprising.
 A couple things I hope have stayed the same would be the relationship I have with my cousins and sister. We have all been there for each other since I was five years old and now I am sixteen. Another relationship I hope has stayed the same would be with my best friend dyamend. She has been there for me since I was in sixth grade and I don't ever even recall having a disagreement with her she has become more like family in every possible way. But some things I hope have changed would be the relationship I have with my mother. As of right now, being a teenager hasn't been the best trying to figure myself out while still having her nag me about coming home on time and not hanging out with certain people or doing better in school and all that sort. I feel that she is trying to look out for me and for that I appreciate but sometimes I feel like she just wont get off my back. Sometimes all I need is air and room to breath. But being 30 years old and maybe with a child I should be able to be at ground level with her and how she felt all those years with me. Lastly, I hope and pray that at 30 years old you're living comfortably with a life you are very proud of!
