The May Queen
I’m a planner by nature- in both my personal and professional life. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that- at the ripe old age of 27- I’m already reading a book to help psychologically prepare me for turning 30. And, as everything in life seems to be for me, it’s been both a blessing and a curse.
The May Queen is a collection of short stories by women- mostly authors- who have experiences to share about turning 30. They are all inspirational, thought-provoking, and emotional. Obviously they focus on the Bermuda Triangle of career, marriage, and babies.
Why is it that even those of us who pride ourselves on being non-traditional still get swept up in the ideals and expectations of turning 30? Didn’t Aaliyah tell us that Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number? It’s just that, for some reason, 29 years and 364 days into our life is like the night before the exam. It’s the morning the fridge is empty and we’re forces to go to the grocery store. It’s the time, as is well described by many of the women, the moment we stop thinking/planning/being afraid and start doing/doing/not being afraid.
I think the one unifying thread that weaves between this collection of short stories is clarity. Not all will blatantly say they’ve found happiness and contentment in their 30’s, though many have. But all seem to have gotten found clarity in their lives- perspective that is only found through experience, and age.
And with the way things are going, a little clarity in life is enough to help me make it to 30.
