...Thirty...

I've never made a big thing about birthdays - specially my own -but for several reasons this means something more to me. It's something of a turning point marking the end of an amazing decade and the beginning of an exciting new chapter.

When i look at my 20's i usually have a hard time believing it was all in one decade since so much happened and so much changed, in my life, in the world - all around me...
The fast forward version of the years that followed goes something like this :

I learned about the real value of money and how we all need it... found a job for the days, finished schooll in the evening, tried to figure out girls and dating, tried to do Uni, left my home country dreaming to see the world and found England... Spain, France, Belgium and Poland, learned about the cultures, found out about the difference between being alone and being lonely... fell in love and took a tumble... got up and tried it again, made new friends, started a career, found out about Law linked it with Economics and took it up in Uni ( again! ), lost my father to cancer ( and all the unanswered questions he took with him) learned about myself, other people, the world, the importance of family, the value of education and finally came around to start a blog.

I have always felt that whatever it happen in my life it would always be intense and profound. There are certainly days where i feel like an entire adult life was crammed into my first decade as an adult...

So here i am at 30... everything feels new, exciting, terrifying and exhilarating...things are up in the air in a constant flux and on a clear path. I am an old boy with a whole life ahead of me.

One thing is clear, the future is on and i've marked that here with the launch of my blog, in this site such as it is... but the real action is offline... so ...

Happy birthday me. Here's to the next 10.
