Nope. It is not my birthday.

And no, I am definitely not 30 years old yet.

I am still 28 as of this writing. But, I feel like I could categorize myself in this "age of 30" range.

I do not know if it is just me. But, I feel like there is too much pressure when you are in this time of your life.

I am at that point where I am working my way up to my career. Work has been really great. But, there is that pressure to do your best.

There's also the partnership stage in life. I am really happy with my girlfriend and relationship right now. But, people pressure you to get married and even have kids.

Then, there's the financial part of things. I am paying my bills. I have a few loans. I gotta pay for the car, the house, my own stuff and a lot more.

Add to that the fact that I think about my future quite a lot. You know, just trying to prepare ahead and make sure we have a good life later on.

All of these things just run through my mind quite a lot lately.

It's a lot of pressure and is a source of stress. But, thank God it is still manageable.

Is anyone else at this stage in life too?

I think we all need to support each other to survive.
