turning 30 and changing perspectives....

I am 30 today and it feels great to be entering another decade of life, Allah mian ka karam. The one thing I have discovered about myself as of late is that no matter how prominent the mantra of marriage has been buzzing in my mind, my past efforts at having fruitful relationships with men to hopefully culminate in marriage have been disastrous. One of my birthday resolutions for the new year is to be more laid back about this and take the attitude that what is meant to be will happen in good time and if it doesn’t well, that is ok too. Wasting time getting frustrated about it is not going to help.

Having said the above, I am very much looking forward to relaxing on my vaca. I am heading to the Midwest to visit relatives…I can’t wait!

zindagi ki iss daur mein hum subh ko Allah khush rakhay

happy bday and enjoy life.. :) i am sure you are.. :)

Ansoon, thanks and yes I am :)

so when am i getting an invitation for ur bday dinner? or should i just show up? hehe :)

I find you quite optimistic most of the time but this is the first time I have read you saying..It’s ok if prince charming doesn’t come at all. See what a number can do :slight_smile:

Happy birthday :flower1:

Happy Birthday darling and don;t worry..someday your prince will come... just stay away from online freaks.. unless he happens to be in the same city! And don;t compromise on your choices...stand your ground and something good WILL come.

Happy Birthday again beautiful!

^ There are no such things as prince charming..Mr Right and Tarzan. Miss biceps, I just thought I should warn you ahead of time before you hit the dreaded number. :-) Hey! the choice is yours.

I like your attitude sweetiepie!! Keep it up :k:

Well by mr.right I mean the one who won;t run away when he does see my biceps....

Every guy I have met has been intimidated by my strength (mental and physical) and tell me I need to loosen up on my values and beliefs (religious).

I don’t know if there is anyone out there (guy or girl) who would voluntarily like to get intimidated by his/her spouse. If you think most people find you intimidating then maybe it’s time reevaluate yourself becuase a relatioship is not only about yourself but someone else is also involved. The causes are very rarely one’s values, religion, height, attire or any such thing. It’s all about the attitude.

Sweetpie: Keep up the good spirits. One should never marry for the sake of marriage. You will be happy & happy birthday!

Happy Birthday sweetpie. Enjoy your day and may you have a fantastic next year.

^ Thank you guys and gals :flower1: Btw, did I mention I am on vacation as of tomorrow…heading to the Midwest to visit relatives for a week. I’m too excited!..can’t wait to see my baby cousins :kiss:

How young are you cousins SP? I guess when one reached 30 everyone else is young. :frowning:

Vaisey, enjoy the birthday, party hearty!! :dhimpak:

^ Mats, baby cousins are 6, 4, and few months (there are 3 of them masha'allah) and thanks I will have a nice time indeed.

:)

Many Happy Returns, and hope you have a lovely vacation.

I am almost there and it really doesnt bother me, age is just a number.
Most of the usual stuff I've already done, like marriage and kids so life is getting more interesting now.
Men dont interest me emotianlly neither do I feel the need of having a man as a constant in my life. I just feel too damn powerful at the moment to worry bout them.

Happy bday. How many times have you seen Sex and the City?
