I'm 22. Recently I've lost my boyfriend (almost husband) by accident... by my accidental stupidity ))) And now I think of him every single minute, I suffer, and sometimes I begin to realize that it was that chance (the only in my life), and I've lost it... that f***ing chance... And I'm sure if I don't set it right before thirty, I'll be already late to start it from the very beginning...

I gotta fucking write this complicated shit down.

What you haven't done by thirty you'll never do and what you've already done, you'll do a lot more.

This may be completely irrelevant to the damn quote but what the hell. I would like to get a boyfriend, engaged, married and family. Get one of my careers and training. Get the hell outta my parent's places.

Oh for Christ's sake I found nothing with people my age.

I kept waiting for the speaker to say somethig funny or profound. Turns out this was just an exercise in dull narcissism. Hence the vest, hence the goatee...Hence, even, the "bags".

It was either by John Updike or Philip Roth? I find this funny all on its own but wont waste being pointleslly snarky.

More to the point, it is a useful topic and to me speaks to the way technology and culture have prolonged adolescence. 19 year olds sucking pacifiers at raves, grown men lining up to see STAR WARS XXII, or grouchy old mules like myself listening to Radiohead covers of Joy Division? Apparently 50 is the new 16.

I'm 37. I find that I'm a totally different person in my 30s than I was in my 20s. At 33 went to my first four-day music festival and camped out. Yes, it's true, me, preppy corporate girly-girl. Well, I feel in love with festivals and now I go annually to Bonnaroo. I even go days and days without showering at these festivals. Gasp, I know. No need to comment back. Thanks - great topic and makes me glad the quote doesn't fit this gal.

Even if it is true it's not that scary for me... I'll just have to do a lot of things until I'm 30. ;) But I believe it's up to each person and to the circumstances in everyone's lives, which might or might not make this statement come true.

Time will tell. ^_~

Cont'd...:There he took a life coaching course, and took a crack at that for 2 years. He stopped that, and got a job as a Mercedes car salesman for a year. He's since left that job and is now working on his typing ;) So, it's all variable I suppose!!

My Dad is 58. By the time he was 22 he had owned his own electrical company and was making 100,000 dollars a year. After 15 years or so, he sold the business and took 4 years off to spend with us. After a four year hiatus he took our log cabin Summer home and made it into a Bed and Breakfast lodge. They had the bed and breakfast for 10 years. They then sold the bed and breakfast and moved to a smaller city.

I love this video, you are cracking me up with the dark circles head turn. Tyra could learn a few things from you. I guess I dont have much a problem with doing more of the same by 30, provided I am getting better at it.
