i'm at home, at my desk, with some red wine and music I hadn't been listening to in the last 2 years and suddenly now is the "perfect" music!
today just passed by, like when you're for few hours on the train and you don't really start anything because you need to get off in a while and you keep thinking of the things you would like to do but you get continuously distracted by the panorama out of the windows..
so, i decided that today is the day i think about turning 30.
i really don't mind about the fact now is 30 and two years ago was 28 and in three years will be 33.. i don't care about the all "passing from being in my 20s to entering in my 30s".. or do i? ..uhm.. nope!
but today my parents cared about it, they told me stories like "30 years ago we were at home 'relaxed' because we knew we had an appointment tomorrow at 9 with the doctor".. why didn't they say it when i turned something like 26?? dunno, but i guess it's part of the game.. so i find it really sweet! i also found out in this way that it's not very strange i'm always late at appointments still now, in fact i was born some days late and my parents arrived 1hour and a half late at the appointment with the doctor on the 18th of February 1978, the day i was going to be born..!! okay i know it doesn't make any sense but at least it makes a good excuse for next time i need to apologise for being late at an appointment!
[gosh, i'm continuously too cold and then too warm that not even if i were in menopause!]
anyway, approaching 30 doesn't make you wiser, in fact:
- it's days i'm listening to trashy classic italian songs from the 70s and 80s!
- today i'm all emotional and weepy (maybe also 'cos i'm getting my period though!)
- i rescued my cds with "political" italian bands like 99posse, onda rossa posse, etc.. plus italian raggamuffin! and i'm even enjoying it to bits!
- i'm not working and i should, and i'm blogging instead
- i'm thinking a lot! [which is notoriously not a wise thing to do] thus entering in some kind of nostalgia for the past or for (im)possible futures [which at the end of the day is the same: languid sadness = shit]
- i didn't go out even if there was a beautiful sun
- etc.. (you can add..)
finally, some impressively enlightening phrases which very smart friends of mine actually uttered in the last weeks:
"Oh, come on, 30 is not that old!"; "I’m looking forward to have my first grey hair, lucky you that you have many"; "I’ve always liked getting older. Every new number sounds more respectable"; "Take it easy, girl..! after 30 you're definitely a 'woman' so... just take that as it comes!"; and so forth…
pleeeeaaase! it's not that you cannot say this stuff, but such sentences may be annoying since they, strangely, seem to connect the simple fact of turning 30 with the fact of getting older.. which, clearly, doesn’t make any sense!
anyhow, tomorrow i turn 30!!! :)
happy birthday to me! :))
