11:23 pm - With 29 approaching..why am I not panicked?

Since 25, I seem to have developed this annual panic attack around my birthday. This year...I dont feel it. Not sure if the year passed by so quick that I haven't had time to feel it, or simply that I think I'm gonna like 29.  K ,now that Im thinking about it, I'm going to bet it's the first one, time is going by just too fast. Not trying to make those 30 and over feel bad but I'M ALMOST 30..that should scare me more. Norrmally I would be having the pitty party...you know "im getting old and I'm not married, I dont have kids, I don't have a house here...blah blah blah". I don't care right now for some reason. Maybe it's one of those things where you panic and stress so much that eventually you become dead inside and throw up your hands and say fuck it. I have felt the new way i think as quit calming....my new thing is - "I'm exactly where life has intended me to be".  Not to say i dont have the occasional panic attack, but its been getting less frequent.  For still being pretty out of control of things..i feel sort of in control if that makes any sense. 

Maybe it's the gym? I've been working out pretty hard core for 5 weeks now. I feel like Im really improving physically. Not talking like becoming a super model over night, but physically i just feel healthier and not so bloated. I'm still a little ways away from losin the  "extra"  pounds and firming up more,but overall mentally i feel better.  If I keep this up who knows..maybe I will be a damn hot 30 year old next year =) K ....here comes a litle panic..one year at a time, for now I will settle for 29. 

Maybe the fact that I feel calm means it will be my year to get what i want.  We'll see...=)

Ryan and I were just talking at Steph's wedding about how once you pass 30, you start losing track of how old you are. I guess the focus isn't as heavy, anymore. Sometimes I have to do the math as it gets close to my birthday.

Best advice? 29 is the last year of your 20s so live it up!

Want some good news? Being in your 30s is awesome. 30s are the new 20s. So you've got something to look forward to, next year. :)

And can I say, you've got one of the healthiest attitudes I've heard from somebody turning 29. Feeling you're "exactly where life has intended" is a great mantra (and my personal philosophy, too!) - and you know you'll never be able to "control" your life, so as long as you keep guiding it in the right direction, like you are right now, all is good.

Leos rule! :-)

Thanks! =) I'm such a conrol freak, it is very hard to let go but once i did I felt calm. I cant say I never have my panic days because I do, and they make me freak the hell out. However for the most part, I've kinda let it go. I mean shit...it could be worse. So what..I'm turning 29. Hey I'm in my sexual prime...FANTASTIC!! haha You're right this is my last year in my 20's sad but i hope to god a new door opens before i run right into it face first =)

I've already got a note on my calendar to plan a get together once I get back from Norway in mid-August. It would be great to keep meeting up... we all have such a good time, every time!

Wow, you mean you're just *now* getting into your sexual prime? Damn! I thought you entered it somewhere like seven years ago...! Make sure Brandon eats a lot of carbs... he's gonna need the energy. ;-)

it's not like the olden days where everyone gets married straight outta hs. there's life to live. i'll be 29 too in December and i don't feel like it. if i do, that's what makeup is for. good for you regarding working out. :) i don't do it enough and i always complain how crappy i feel. if you feel good, you look better!

Thanks...yea i know thank god things aren't like the olden days...or I'd be considered an old spinster by now =) I am actually feeling better, it's to the point where I feel guilty if i dont work out. I just need to keep it up..thats my issue. I tend to do these spirts...then a few months later i poop out ...haha i cant let it happen this time.
