Turned 30 today

Chef Cara • Currently cook for a fine dining restaurant in Traverse City. Single, 29, chef, would love to be a mom someday.

Today is my 30th birthday and I'm having a hard time accepting it. I've never had this happen before with any of my other birthdays. I'm glad to see another year that's for sure but for some reason when I think about it, I feel sad. Even when I say the number 30 it doesn't feel right on the tongue. Maybe I'm scared of getting older or who knows. I'm sure with time it'll get easier. Has this happened to anyone else before?

Edit: thanks you guys. I'm hoping with time things will get better. I'll try not to think about it. I think I'm also emotional because my period also started today and I'm always very emotional during this time of the month. Mostly irritated and sad. Couldn't have happened at a better time.
