I turned 29 yesterday and i have to admit i am full of fear about letting go of my youth. But i am also excited about growing into a confident, mature woman and standing in my strength. Your blog has really inspired me!

That’s why I got a red car in my 30s. I’ve also dyed my hair red at one point. Stand out for the wonderful person you are. Forget all the shit going on and be you.

I can relate in so many ways. I am so glad you are finding who you are, and are enjoying living life. I’m nearing the end of my 30s, so I am definitely looking forward to my life beginning at 40!

I don’t know what it is about 29, but it changes you. I just turned 29 in July and realized that I can do things on my own and developed this amazing confidence in myself. In realizing all this, I also realized I didn’t want to be in my marriage anymore. I don’t want anyone looking over my shoulder constantly asking who I am talking to, whats being said, etc. I, too, have been suffocating and have made the decision to divorce. Everyone says you change at 30, I look forward to this change and embracing the new me and much like you, my 30’s will be red.

Welcome to the first of the best decades of your life! My 30’s (I’m 35) have been wonderful, new baby, new husband, new town, new job, graduated college and even better relationships with my parents. The 20’s suck! Those years with my “practice-husband” are long over and I can breath again! You will love yourself and continue to grow into a beautiful confident woman. Congratulations!

Happy Birthday! I enjoyed that post two years ago. And I can appreciate that so much has changed in your life. It is a fresh start of sorts for you. I actually have a friend who is going through a divorce right now, and she said the same thing. She said “I turned 30 last year, but I’ve been unhappy for 6 years. I’m ready to start a new life.” Your post here just opened my eyes a little more to what she was telling me. Thanks! And enjoy your birthday.

Happy birthday!
For what’s it’s worth, I admire anyone who can pull themselves out of such a situation. I’ve been there, years ago, and though we weren’t married, we were 3 years common law and it was damn hard. Daren was my Paul.
Good for you – you’re setting quite a few wonderful examples for your children.

been there, done that. It’s gonna be OK.

(my mother in law is visiting, I’ve been listening to her been there, done that stories. I think at this point, I may know more about her life beyond being mother to her sons than her sons know! She’s OK too. Her sons and my daughters respect our choices to have left the respective dads and be stronger women without them.)

I know that suffocating feeling, and fortunately I know how good it feels to breathe again. So, I get it.
Happy Birthday!

Honey, I’ve watched you grow and change over the past two years. Watched you change from somebody with no confidence and little self esteem to a strong, brave woman with a true sense of herself.

You’ve given up so much to break away from your ex and I promise you that the kids will love you more for it in the long run. They need you to be their mother, to be strong and to spend your energy on loving them instead of wasting it on pleasing someone who is impossible to make happy and being a slave.

You have changed so much and I am so very very proud of you. No matter what comes in the future (and I intend it to be a long and happy life together) if this growth, this metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly is all that is achieved it will have been worth it.

Those that know you and love you (friends, family, kids, weird Irish guys off the internet) will understand that and will have a far better relationship with you because of that.

I love you. I’m proud of you and Happy Birthday!

Good for you! Life is too short to live in fear or pretend to be what you are not. The good….the bad….are all lessons we learn on our paths to reclaiming our own identity and power. Happy Birthday!

This is totally something that someone in her 30’s would say, but I mean it: The 30’s are the best! Screw the 20’s.

Happy Birthday! Welcome to the best of your life.
