Hi ! 

Well, earth is rotating on its axis and so is life! It has always been fascinating to grow up fast when we were in crazy teenage.But then, once we hit thirty, suddenly we are reminded of the biological clock ticking fast and the only wish we have is to go back to our childhood.Relive innocence, relive unreasonable and unconditional love, relive beautiful moments (*nostalgic*).  

But as a realist,I always look for contentment and happiness in every passing moment. I have seen people hiding their age and escaping "responsibility" angles, may be, because of some psychological fear. I want to share with all such people that it's absolutely beautiful growing up for many reasons:

1).One doesn't have to go through blatant and abrupt physical changes.

2).Thirty adds stability to hormones both biologically and metaphorically.

3).You are no more asking for money from your parents or spouse.

4).Space seems like a gift and not "ignorance" which we use to feel in our college days from our partner.

5).One feels good without phone.

6).You are no more bothered about the ugly tags that your "wannabe"friends add on facebook.

7).Facebook? existed once upon a time.

8).You will always have money in your wallet.

9).You will  marry for balance and not just for a fairy tale.
10).Heart breaks can be self regulated.
11).Birthdays take a back seat.
12).You can commit and erase your own mistakes.
13).Suicide seems immature act.
14). News becomes more entertaining.
15). You stop questioning god.
16). Fifty shades of Grey is an "ok" type movie.
17). You no longer crib.
18). You live by the theory "this too shall pass"
19). You stop correcting people.
20). You know the value of appreciation over criticism.

In any case one has more number of reasons to celebrate this new turn in life. So, enjoy life with little bit of grey,silver streaks touching your tresses by the law of nature.
