Hey Thunderbear,
I turned the big 3 0 a couple of years ago. I was terrified to turn 18, then 20, and then 30, because I felt that people would expect me to grow up.
I take my responsibilites seriously, I do not go out or party, but I love to have fun and laugh, and do silly things. Now, I know no one expects anything different of me, and I was the only one expecting me to 'grow up'.
It's all in how you preceive it. As Einstein said, it's all relative to the observer. See it how you want to see it, be who you want to be. This is your only chance at life.
Best,
mj
