I’m late to this party, but to add my take: I was feeling really old when I turned 30. Still single, still not sure what to do with my life…and them I had an epiphany. That turning 30, at least in my case, marked a point where I became an infinitely healthier person emotionally. So I the myself a giant birthday party, which was not something I had been able to do in my young.er years. I covered the walls in quotes about like “The best is yet to come.” And you know, there have been lots of moments in the years since then that I’ve realized I don’t heal as quickly as I used to can’t always do the things I once did without thinking about it, and one incredibly difficult diagnosis…but overall, I was right. 30 meant the end of a hell of a lot of self inflicted drama. My life is better now in every way, and I believe that will only continue as I mature and heal and grow.

For the record, I don’t care (in the most loving way possible) what you believe about anything, and I suspect that is a two way street. Isn’t that neat? I have a son who is questioning “god”. Great! I couldn’t be happier.

That is neat! And yes, likewise. I’m glad your son is getting that kind of openness and freedom, but be warned, kids do tend to swing the opposite direction – he might end up going fundamentalist in his search for structure and rules, just as overly sheltered kids rebel by going very anti-authority…

James nailed it “25-44. Career. Family. Debt. Responsibilities. Fears.”

I couldn’t be happier. Thank gods/God/No God/Who Gives A Shit that kids DARE TO QUESTION EVERYTHING. Many, many adults could stand to remember that most important part of childhood. Somewhere along the way, we got that part of us stomped out but good. QUESTION EVERYTHING, BUT LET OTHERS THINK FOR THEMSELVES AND BELIEVE AS THEY WISH AND REMEMBER THAT NO ONE IS RIGHT. OR WRONG. There. I just stopped all wars. ;)

Makes perfectly good sense to me.
