I FEEL & AM OLDER; I DO NOT «FEEL OLD» —ID EST: I DO NOT FEEL LIKE AN OLDSTER—, NOR DO I LOOK IT: I SEEM APPROXIMATELY A DECADE YOUNGER; STRANGERS OFTEN ASSUME THAT I AM IN MY LATE TEENS, OR EARLY TWENTIES, HAHA.

THIRTY YEARS OF AGE IS THE CRVX AT WHICH THE SUMMER OF LIFE BEGINS TO END, AS ONE APPROXIMATES AUTUMN; ONE IS NO LONGER A YOUTH, BUT, RATHER, AN ADULT, AND ONE STOPS LOOKING AT LIFE AS SOMETHING TO BE LIVED, AND MORE AS SOMETHING BEING LIVED; THIRTY YEARS OF AGE IS THE SERENE, BUT OCCUPIED PLATEAU RISING FROM THE PLAINS, AND VALLEYS, OF JUVENTUDE, AND FROM WHICH THE TUNDRAS OF SENECTUDE ARE ALREADY VISIBLE IN THE HORIZON; AT THIRTY YEARS OF AGE ONE IS MOURNING ONE'S JUVENILITY, BUT NOT YET SAVOURING THE FRUITS OF MATURITY.
