I’m turning 29 today. 

And just a year after that, I'll have to turn 30. 

Insane. Haven’t I been through enough? 

Before all you thirty-somethings roll your eyes and close this tab, empathize with me for a sec: I know you’ve been where I am now, but not vice versa. You will always win. As long as we’re both alive, I will always be younger than you, no matter how old I get (arguably that means that I win… but I relent).

From the perspective of a 28 year old, 29 sounds old. Like any woman turning any age over 25, I'm freaking out. 

29 is like, 49 in men’s years. And 203 in dog years!

Woof.
