30 Things Every Woman Should Have And Should Know By The Time She's 30

Let yourself be happy when you’re happy.

OK THIS is advice I should have heeded years ago.

I have none of these (I'm guessing an Ikea computer chair and a crappy MFI desk with ill-fitting drawers don't count for my not-handed-down furniture) and have learnt none of these but the biggest gift of my 30s is the growing realisation that I don't actually care about most of them

My Nan (RIP) gave me an umbrella with big-eyed kittens on for my 30th birthday; I thought she had just forgotten that I was not 6 any more, but this thread makes it a v. appropriate gift I guess

Worry about letting things you want to do slide without DOING THEM, you will regret it I say!!! DOnt think "I can do that later/when I have more money/when I have time". Carpe the damn diem.

I think I spent my late teens / early 20s not doing creative things because I was waiting for someone to tell me that my creative stuff was good enough to be worth taking to the ~next level~ of actually working on and showing to people, except I never showed anybody it, so how was anyone ever going to, etc etc

(and right now I am not visiting places I'd like to see because I have no money and it's hard to book time off but mainly because I'm not good at the planning related to travelling, should work on that too I guess)
