Why it all matters less to you when you're thirty

And then I shouted it over the editorial: “Poooootverdriedubbeltjes.” That really belonged in the category of ‘joke’, even though Kiek and Lil still think otherwise. But I signed my own death warrant when I said: “I’m over thirty, so I can do that.” Well, the girls were just doing some actions that they will never do when they are thirty, because: silly, bourgeois, just weird, how do you come up with it. Now I have the nice side effect that as you get older, you just care less about it all. Not too much, but just that little bit of whatever that the twenty-somethings lack. Kiek, Lil, the battle is on, this is why you are just way too stressed out.

With each year you add, you think less for someone else. And that, that might just be the key to caring a little less about it all. You accept that you don’t know and you are wise enough not to want to know. Because older and wiser, that has been scientifically proven. Just like women in their thirties are indeed much more self-confident and you can legally sit on the couch on Saturday night, because you don’t care.

So that those people over thirty do those things, Kiek, might just be because it’s simply smarter. Let’s see…

1. Doing your groceries for a week all at once means you don’t have to drag yourself through the supermarket every evening in your free hours.

2. A bookshelf looks well-read and therefore intellectual, there comes a time when your upper room also starts to count. Ha.

3. That birthday calendar in the smallest room ensures that you remember your family and friends. And serves as entertainment for your toilet visitor, you also flip through it to see if you’re on it, bet?

4. Cool is going to be the new ‘smooth’ and ‘awesome’, just so you know.

And about letting those plants die, washing your curtains, and complaining about leaking nipples and diaper rash, I have nothing to say, because I have no idea how that works, even though I’m older (and wiser). I’ll talk to you when you’re thirty and wow, that’s already in three years. Time flies.
