Growing up I was always wondering on how things will turn out when I'll get older, how my life's gonna change, how will I fulfill my role as an adult, a husband and a father.
Strangely, my dad wasn't the adult in the back of my mind. The guys that I was studying were the ones hanging around my block. And they were all in their 30s. Back then it seemed like an eternity reaching that age, but, as time doesn't stop for nobody, that day surely came.
Looking back I can say from the bottom of my heart that the kid's vision about his young adult life is nothing like he'd imagine. I always thought that by the time I'd turn 30 I'd be at least married, have a child, a secured job, doing adult things, being adult-responsible. Well... suprise, surprise!
Whoever said that boys mature slower, sure did his/her homework. Comparing my present self to the image I created about my future self back then, I can only see one thing in common: the age. Everything else falls into pieces. All the ideas about marriage, children, shaving every morning before work and how all other things should've been, are nothing but sweet fantasies. Which is not necessarily a bad thing.
Sure, we can always blame the times we're living in, but let's face it, we're still some boys, in our 30s and a have a lot more growing up to do.
This blog dives into the 30-year-old's habits, passions, hobbies, routines, fears, hesitations, curiosities and relationships, following the journey through his beautiful and (not so)wild (anymore) 30s. We're slowly turning into fine and dandy gentlemen, so be prepared!
Yours truly,
A boy in his 30s
