Today I turned 30 years old. - It's good to be alive.

Today is my thirtieth birthday, and wanted to take a moment in the quiet of the night to share a few thoughts that have crossed my mind as I exit my twenties and enter my thirties.

You young whipper-snapper!!!

I'm 60 in December, and can't believe how fast the years went.

The 30s are still a searching decade, settling down time; the 40s are for solidifying a career or avocation; the 50s for winding down a bit, and mentoring others.

I enjoy each year/week/day. It's not gotten worse, but better, as you tend to cut loose a lot of unimportant elements.

Happy Birthday.

Michael, from...

I hit my 30's 5 years ago! Been a great half a decade! Went through my teens, and 20's in the 90's.. Such a horrible time for music, and METAL... Feeling better now!! The 30's are the NEW 20's!! :D

Cheers

@Startruth144 I think we all struggle through those formative years. Thanks for watching, and best wishes.

I just wanted to say happy birthday! I just turned 28 last week, so I'm getting closer to the big 30. Of course my mind still feels young, but my body (due to severe back problems) feels like an old man's. I am counting on my 30's to be the beginning of the best years of my life, though. I'll be through all this surgery, and then I hope to follow my dreams, which are much like yours and the reason why you are 1 of 2 youtubers I subscribe to. Anyways, Happy 30th man, and keep on keeping on.

@leeroytree 28 was a very good year for me, and I hope it is for you. Best wishes on the pain leaving you. In the meantime, study study study. Watch films and read every book you can find on film making or storytelling. Thanks so much for watching.

Thank you for sharing. I just turned 30 myself and have been doing a lot of self-reflection as well lately. It was really great to hear your perspective. Thanks :)
