00:00:00: Welcome back to sweet but salty the bliss point of podcasts and welcome to this super new Super boring episode.

00:00:09: No, it's not gonna be boring.

00:00:11: It's just The title at least the working title.

00:00:15: I don't know how I'll call it when i upload it But its...the Working Title Of This Episode is life in my thirties Which Is more interesting than you might expect because I reveal my age, but i've revealed my age on instagram as well so it's not like super secret or anything.

00:00:35: But yeah!

00:00:36: I'm in my thirties and very early thirtys...but still..and thought i'm gonna make an episode about this topic because a lot of people don't really talk about it.

00:00:48: I think in society, it's a lot about your twenties and how your twenties are the time that you...I don't know.

00:00:54: explore new things?

00:00:55: And get your life together!

00:00:57: You set up everything for success and your thirties are kind of the middle ground even though there might be a shift in society as well you know, saying that thirties are the new twenties or something like that.

00:01:10: Whatever!

00:01:11: I don't know...I think life in my thirtys is a really good episode title because i can only speak from MY personal experience and..i must say that- i feel more mature than i did in my twenties....i've dated differently when I was in my twenties and now i'm not dating at all.

00:01:32: so that's a big, big change.

00:01:34: but um...I feel like I have gotten to know myself a lot better over the course of the last years.

00:01:42: And I'm a lot quieter and also- I know myself better in general!

00:01:47: So I know what I like ,what I dislike What I want, what i don't want and...I'm mustering up the courage in my life to like stand out for myself a lot more.

00:01:57: It doesn't really happen overnight And it's not as easy as I thought it would be.

00:02:02: but standing up for yourself is you know A habit?

00:02:06: I guess or rather a skill that you unlock at some point In your life where you develop and then unlock it and..i think there are alot of subtle changes that we go through when we turn thirty, not counting the gray hair like That's getting more and more.

00:02:24: But rather I feel like there are some personality changes going on And this might be due to psych meds which i'm still on but This is a story in and of itself.

00:02:35: The way psych med change you Is kind of weird...but at the same time..I was on psych med In my twenties as well.

00:02:43: I was different back then, so i would say what has happened to me is that i have become a lot more centered.

00:02:52: Not self-centered at least not in...in a negative way but in a good way In that i know what i like and dislike as i said And..i know myself I know my strengths, i know my weaknesses and I have found or re-found My faith.

00:03:08: I've like found MY personal way to communicate with God And to worship and really truly care about the Word of God.

00:03:19: That's just me personally.

00:03:21: if Faith is not your thing then I totally get it but It has been a big component in my life In the past couple months.

00:03:31: I'm very happy that i'm growing stronger in my faith and...I must say, my anxiety has subsided since I started reading the bible which was very interesting.

00:03:41: Like a very-very surprising correlation there!

00:03:45: And um..i think what i've lost in my thirties is this need for thrill?

00:03:51: I like my boring life.

00:03:54: you know, having the same structure every single day.

00:03:57: I like sitting down and drawing for hours which i've always loved.

00:04:02: i like secure attachments and people who treat me well instead of you know having me on my toes all the time.

00:04:10: I like all those things, and i'm not mad about that.

00:04:13: so there are a lot of quiet changes that come about in your authorities.

00:04:17: A transformation doesn't have to be loud.

00:04:19: it can always be subtle and something that you notice!

00:04:23: And recently i had my very first art exhibition which i'm very happy about- i also recorded an episode two episodes ago it.

00:04:31: And a lot of people told me that I was literally shining, and when you're in alignment with your true purpose radiating light.

00:04:51: And yeah, I'm just so grateful for the experience and i hope that the coming years are going to be filled with more art and more creativity on my side!

00:05:03: Just beautiful encounters with people who knows what will happen?

00:05:08: I am gonna stay consistent and persistent then pretty sure we'll see.
