I wrote this piece when I turned 30. About the decade that went by. Significant in its own way and very much "sinusoidal".
In the upcoming 30s, I was expecting a lot flatter curve - and it delivered.
I lost my mother-in-law at 31 and gained her back in the form of my younger son at 33. I do believe he is "her come back" as she promised before she left..
Rest has been smooth sailing. Settling in - raising kids, moving two homes till we finally ended in the one we live in, finally changing jobs after 15 years and so on and so forth. It has been eventful, happy and content. And yet, never in spikes. And I love it that way.

If my teenage self saw my 40-year-old self, I think the teenage version would be inspired and would want to emulate the 40-year-old version. Enough said :D
Looking forward to being the same, and staying equally spirited through this next decade!!
