Chantelle Azzopardi-Brown

i recently turned thirty-one so i’m now a fully-fledged adult operating in the real world, right? 🤪

i wrote this piece back in May, when i was still thirty, but the premise is still the same. we idolise yet demonise the next decade. we’ll be wiser and life will suddenly make sense, but you’ll look withered so start on the botox.

i always thought i’d have it all figured out by thirty. but, unfortunately, no extra hindsight was gifted to me when the clock struck midnight.

as i have aged, however, i have started to prioritise different things and maybe have gained a little more perspective. i know a lot of people, mostly women, freak out about turning thirty and rightly so - we are told from all directions how horrendous it is for us to be older.

but please ignore it, find some solace in what i’ve written, and be so grateful that you’re still here telling your tale.
