(I'm right there with you on not having kids, BTW) And 2.5 years of being in my 30s has resolved very little of it. My therapist - I met her three weeks ago and I think she's going to change my life - listened to my litany of self-disappointment, asked a bunch of questions about my family, looked elated and horrified in all the right places, and then said these words: "Honey (she's Texan), this is the perfect time for you to be working on these things. Your twenties are over, which means your personality is only just starting to gel and you're less and less affected by what others think of you. Now you'll start defining who you are and what you'll do." Or something like that. I believe her. This is the perfect time, and not a minute before, for us to get our shit together, whatever that means. We'll be OK, you and I. May I suggest pot as a viable alternative for tobacco? I know a guy...

For a moment there I actually felt sad for you. Turning 30 sounds scary and depressing and it sounds like you're taking it pretty hard. Responsibility, accountability, leaving your juvenile mentality behind... and then my thoughts were interupted when you asked our cat, Goose, to pull your finger. I think you're going to be ok hon. :) Happy 30's baby. -Sara Wow Zack! For a moment there I actually felt sad for you.

It fills the same gap in the brain. Give up smoking, but take up obsessing about obscure bands. It fills the same gap in the brain.

Just pick whichever ones are plaguing you the most (from the to-do list) and focus on those so you can get on with life and not worry about "your number" (as my three-year-old calls it.)

I'm proud of you for even making the to-do list. Now figure out which ones get marked off first and how long it will realistically take to get started.
