Introduction to 30: A Newbie 2 Da Game

http://www.markleybilliards.com/welcome.gifIam actually 29 yrs old and will be turning 30 in just a few months. Ahhhhh-how I love being a woman, let me count the ways…..
Although, I haven't hit the 30 mark yet, I've felt the change coming on for a while now.  I've come to the realization that a woman goes through certain stages in her life. For example the "roaring 20's", which is what I like to call it:)  This time consists of a woman just getting her
feet wet. Learning the art of discovery so to speak. Around that age I started really thinking about what career field I wanted to get into.  I dabbled a little in the serial dating scene, lol.  I just wanted  to figure out what I liked/didn't like in a potential mate.  Feel a few guys out, be carefree and not give a damn. Basically, my 20's were all about testing the waters, making a few mistakes and learning from them.  Children or committed relationships were the furthest thing from my mind. Then when I hit 26 I slowed down a bit. I really started putting everything into perspective. Career, Finances and setting future goals for myself.  One of those goals also included finding my MAN. I had this overwhelming urge to just get my LIFE together!!!
With 30 right around the corner, I am approaching a new era in my life.  I definitely feel like everything is coming full circle. I am taking on new projects, even started a blog and currently building a 2nd one. I also realized that the entire "club" scene and rowdy crowds is just not my thang. Something that used to get me super crunk when I was 20 now, totally turns me off. I actually just want to settle down and take things slow, whether it be work, partying or relationships. Speaking of, that's another thing that I am so happy that I have at this point in my life. I am in a solid, committed, healthy relationship.  Everything is work, but it's been well worth it. I can honestly say that I am in a good place in my life. Things can always get better, but as of right now I can't complain. I am ready to take on whatever the world of the "dirty 30's" has to offer-so bring it on-HA! It's time to love hard, live hard and rejoice. I am ready for it all, career, marriage, family and whatever else life is gonna throw at me. For me, NOW is the time! Thirty here I come! Ready, Set, here I GOOOOOOOOOO………..

I love it...I'm no where near 30 but I can relate. I am now at the age where I am testing the waters and this stage can be tough at times but I know it only gets better. The older we get the more knowledge and life experience we have to make us a better woman. Great work chica!

That's whassup...I dig this post. Straight to the point and you kept it 100. Glad that now entering your 30's your settled and know what you want. Many women your age still are confused and don't have a faithful man by their side. Therefore, you are lucky and you sound like you got a good head on your shoulders. Your man must be a lucky guy.

Stay blessed.
