30 Years Old Threshold 🐣

Hello, the few remaining blog readers in the world, in this article, I will briefly touch upon the issue of the 30-year age threshold, giving examples from myself.

If we believe Dante, I am half way there. I intend to extend the path, but as you know, these things develop depending on fate, fate, genetics, nutrition and environmental factors. That's why I don't prefer to speak assertively.

32 years of my life have been spent with dreams, actions and unsuccessful plans about what I could do. Now I'm 35 and everything is much better because I took the helm in another direction.

I lost my father in 2017. I have experienced how meaningful and profound the saying "Every man's birth begins with the death of his father" is. After a very short time, I started to move away internally from acting, which was the lion's share of my heart. Still, I tried acting until 2019. I received many acting and camera acting trainings from reputable institutions and people. Even though I took part in many projects during this period, I could not get a permanent or qualified role. During this period, I worked in many institutions such as cafes, taverns and theaters, but the good days were not yet here.

I went to the military on a paid basis in March 2019. On my return, I completely shelved acting and stepped into the startup where I am currently working. I am living the happiest, most organized and most successful years of my life in terms of self-realization. It will be my 4th year here in 1 month, but my excitement for my job is increasing day by day.

Well, all these beautiful things have a deep connection with the 30-year-old threshold in my life.

What is the 30 Year Old Threshold?

We can call it the 30-year-old threshold when people turn to other directions or polish their own windows with the life views and experiences they have gained after the age of 30. At least that's how it worked for me. I lost my father when I was 30 and it was as if someone was cleaning my windows with clean glass cleaning cloths. In that process, I realized my own potential. I saw with great enlightenment that what I could achieve and what I dreamed were not on the same path. Still, I tried for 2 years to be sure, and now I understand that the route I took was the right one.

Based on the previous paragraph, the following question may arise in the minds of some readers:

Is our father a burden on our backs in our life journey?

I don't know. It could be. I'm not saying this from a malicious place. Of course, "If only my father were alive, I would carry 10 times the burden on my back." I say. I just want to express that the things that have accumulated in my bag from this process have imprinted such questions on my mind.

You don't have to lose your father or someone close to you to cross the 30-year-old threshold. This is how this situation manifested itself for me. Its manifestation in you may well be that you realize something and change your career or gain a completely different perspective.

At the same time, do not think that it is just after the age of 30. Some of my friends exceed this threshold a little earlier, some after the age of 35. So, it depends on the person's own reasons. In either case, you have nothing to lose. Sit back and enjoy the age you are in.

After 30

If we look at it in general terms, I think the age of 30 is truly a period of beginning of wisdom for human life. You make countless decisions by the age of 30. Career, relationships, belief, perception... It is possible to add other items to these. After this period, you begin to see more clearly how the consequences of the decisions you make shape your life. In general, you make less irrational decisions and take fewer risks.

You begin to prefer a quieter life and desire quieter holidays.

While the frequency of having fun in nightclubs decreases, you start to find environments where you can chat with 2 beers / 2 glasses of tea / 2 cups of coffee more attractive.

You adopt the motto of less excitement and more peace.

You become less quarrelsome and more mediator.

While you have dozens of friends until your 30s, after the 30th age threshold, a few friends are enough or even too much for you.

Some of us are starting to think about how many books there are to read but how few years to live. A movie can also be used instead of a book.

Being open to different tastes in food and beverage choices is decreasing. The options you see as counters are becoming more preferred. For example, just plain Turkish coffee or Turkish Raki

Although loneliness is good for some of us, long periods of loneliness can easily cause us to fall into depression.

Sentences like these echo frequently in your mind and in your circle of friends:

"Are those born in the year XX now 20 years old?"

You still feel like a teenager. You still think you can run as fast as before, but after 100 meters signs of fatigue begin.

However, you still think you are young, and in a way that is true because you are still vigorous. In addition, you earn your own money, the control of your life is completely in your own hands, and you make all the decisions, with all their sins and rewards.

Final Words About the 30 Year Old Threshold

• Enjoy these good times that will probably last until you are at least 50. You are still strong and strong. Your ears hear well, your eyes see well, your nose smells well. I do not know of a greater treasure than this.

• Remember, it's never - almost - too late for anything. Now or 1 month later, 1 year later… Chart your own route.

• Appreciate your loved ones. Hug, stay in touch, express your love. Don't think of it as just your family. Don't hesitate to tell a friend you love that you love them.

• Try to read and watch more. Believe me, life is too short to read or watch good things.

• Breathe in the scent of spring, summer and winter. There are few things that are as good for me as the smell of coal in winter, the smell of the sea in summer, and the smell of jasmine in spring. Watch nature. Put your phone aside and watch a bird landing on a branch. Watch a sleeping dog. Feed them, contribute to the universe. There is something very good about hugging a tree, try it; feel it.

• Don't stay silent. Have more friendly conversations. Listen more, talk less. Eat good food, drink good drinks. The more memories we accumulate in the world, the better.

Finally, never stop wondering, because as we wonder, we will expand our own universe. 🪐
