Moms in their 30’s

Is this what life tends to look like at this age?

One thing I never really expected about turning 30 was how lonely this chapter of life could sometimes feel. Not because I don’t have people who love me, but because I don’t necessarily have friendships or connections with people who are in the same season of life as me.

Over the years, a lot of friendships have naturally faded, while others ended because I realized they weren’t the kind of friendships I wanted or deserved. And while I’ve made peace with that, it doesn’t mean I don’t sometimes miss having genuine girlfriends to talk to, laugh with, make plans with, and just feel understood by.

Even within family, I sometimes find myself in a different age group or stage of life, and although I love the people around me, there are moments when I feel a little misunderstood or out of place.

I think there’s something about being 30 that makes you realize how much you value meaningful connections. I’m not interested in having a huge circle or friendships just for the sake of saying I have friends. I want genuine people, mutual effort, kindness, and friendships where I can simply be myself.

I’m incredibly grateful for the love and life I’m building, but I also think it’s okay to acknowledge that you can be happy with your life and still wish you had a few more people to share it with.

Maybe this is just part of growing up. Learning that some people are only meant for certain chapters, while still hoping the next chapter brings friendships that feel like home. ❤️
