The past week has been magical. I was worried turning 30 would spiral me into a whiny mess, but it has been the opposite. I've been in a really good place emotionally. My family, friends, and lovely co-workers have shown me so much love and support. I kinda wish everyday was my Birthday.
As awful as this is going to sound, I've been waiting for the other shoe to drop. Life can't ALWAYS be rainbow and butterflies. With every high comes a low. I've been flying high the past week and last night my low came in a form of a cashier.
Conversation with the Cashier
Cashier: Can I see your ID
Me: Hand my ID over
Cashier: Oh, I see you just had a Birthday, Happy Birthday!
Me: Thanks, it was a big one this year. I'm 30 now.
Cashier: Are you married? Any Kids?
Me: (My skin became red and I could feel my heart beat in my chest) No, not married. No kids either. I'm hopeful someday though.
Cashier: You better get on that quick honey, after 30 it doesn't get any easier.
Me: Stare of death. Grabbed my card and rushed out of the store.
I couldn't believe it. I know I shouldn't let her thoughtlessness affect me, but it did. I was crushed. For the past week I've been on cloud 9 feeling really good about myself and where I am at, and now this Bitch had to burst my bubble and point out the fact that I'm single and childless. Thanks a million, lady. Appreciate you pointing out the 2 very things I so eagerly want, and don't have.
Needless to say, last night was spent eating and drinking my feelings.

I wish people had filters.
Or at least knew how to use them.
I bet you she didn't even realize what she said.
If I would have been next in line I would have mentioned something to her.
I'm sorry she said that.
I don't agree at all.
I knew quite a few 30 somethings who just recently had entered into relationships and gotten engaged!
There is always hope and of course God's plan!!!
What the heck, lady? Very thoughtless of her to say.
