Today is my 32nd birthday! And it wouldn’t be my birthday without doing one of these posts, I’ve been doing this for quite a few years now and I just cannot break with tradition. For someone who was terrified of turning 30 I want to shout from the rooftops just how bloody great your thirties actually are! Let’s take a look back at the last year shall we?!
From what I can tell the very first birthday reflections post I did was all the way back in 2014 with my thoughts on turning 23. I can’t believe that nine years on I’m still writing those posts, or that I’m still writing on this blog for that matter! It seems wild to me!
I honestly think 31 has really been my year, sorry to use that phrase that makes me comes across like a total dick but in all honesty it’s been pretty fantastic. And I don’t just mean that in a social media, curating my perfect life kinda way. I mean it’s been bloody brilliant. I’m always honest with these personal posts and my thoughts on turning 30 post was a massive pity party. I was adamant that it would be all downhill from 30 onwards and I had a shit tonne of negative stuff going on so you know I’m being honest with you all!
If you were around for last years post then you’ll know that turning 30 was actually a game changer for me and I feel like I’m such a different person to what I was in my twenties. I’m more confident, more self-assured, more unapologetically me and if we’re being blunt, I give a lot less of a fuck about things that worried me for years. It’s so freeing. And those feelings are only growing as the years go by.
I don’t have any wishes or hopes for 32 beyond life continuing the way it is. I already have some amazing things lined up for over the next year and I’m ready to jump into this next chapter and fully enjoy it. I want to continue to enjoy exercising, travel more and really settle into a routine with my blogs that always me to enjoy them but build them up too.
32, I’m ready for you!
I turned 30 in May and it’s definitely been a game-changer for me and I’m loving life in my thirties! x

Happy Sweet 32. Wish you a good year. Take care.
Happy 32nd Birthday! It was great reading that you’ve discovered the ‘give-less-of-a-fuck’ stage of life. That can happen at any age, or course, but I feel like it is quite common when entering the 30s. It is so refreshing and much needed — I’m wishing you another wonderful year ahead! ♡
Happy birthday! Everyone always says that when you hit 30, life ends, but I am glad you are proving that life only begins when you’re 30.
So glad your 30s are going well! I’ve heard that 30s are better than 20s for a lot of people xx
Happy birthday!!! I’m happy to hear that you entered your 30s much more confident and self-assured! 20s is such a weird decade to experience. I’m turning 30 this year and looking forward to what my 30s have to offer! Similarly, I feel like I would enter my 30s feeling much better about myself and life than in my 20s.
