I will probably dedicate a lot of blogs to this specific
subcategory.
Growing up I always remember women joking that they were turning
29 on their upcoming birthday. I never understood the magic of this number, but
quickly began to fear the dreaded 30!
In
fact I was recently watching an episode of Sex in the City where Carrie
Bradshaw and friends were comparing themselves to the girls in their 20s, a
recurring theme in SITC.
At the end of
the episode I actually was more depressed and felt bad for those
thirtysomethings… and here is why, Society has told us that at the very least
we should be married and have a baby on the way with one in toe.
Modern day Society has this unwritten code
that you should be enjoying some fabulous career making good money and working
your way up some ladder corporate or otherwise.
At the very least you should be like Carrie Bradshaw living in a small
NYC apartment shopping for Manolo Blahniks during the day and enjoying cosmos with
your 3 BFFs at night!
Well guess what readers, this moderngypsygirl would be hard
pressed to find 3 friends, regardless of BF status, to go out and have a drink
with any night of the week never mind every night of the week! And the thought of Manolo Blahniks…well I
can’t even afford them on ebay!
So what does it REALLY mean to be 30 and single in 2011? What do you think?
