overcoming the fear of aging | life in my 30s

hey friends! welcome to my channel☺️ this week I’m sharing a visual diary entry talking about my thoughts around the fear of aging. Starting over in my 30s has been a roller coaster and I’m constantly reflecting on the “why” behind the feelings. As always, every season of life isn’t perfect but it’s refreshing to know that growth is on the other side.

I’m 32! Ain’t it crazy how if a woman in her 30’s pass away, everyone exclaims “She was so young!” Yet while alive and well, society can treat us as disposable. This can create such a crushing tension and is painfully confusing…ageism, racism, sexism, hell all of the -ism’s, are designed to be that way. They’re rooted in the desire to make people feel less than for simply existing as they are. As a Black woman, I’ve had to see the absolute ridiculousness in racism and try to free myself from the toll it takes on me mentally which has its effect physically! FREE YOURSELF, JEN. It’s a process!!! (Also, I’ve been dying my hair since 17 because I’ve ALWAYS had grays. Could simply be genetics and definitely these KIDS! 😂)

Even as a man I some of these same feelings. 35 is definitely still young. My fear also is the feeling that I’ve hit my prime before I reached a certain age. I love this. Very comforting.

[@jennnoire]

I think about this also..did I reach my prime and not even realize it at the time? But I’m telling myself I can make my “prime” whatever age I determine it to be lol.

[@E_nez]

I felt this! It’s like I’m aging but life is moving too fast for me to catch up to all the things I want to do.

[@Feminine_ki]

I’ll tell you one thing. I commend the ladies who are going through this part of life that have kids. I couldn’t even fathom going through this “awakening” and have to be a mother. It’s so many ups and downs days when you want to be alone & not be bothered. I truly commend yall.

[@Beztyausten]

I feel you I’m turning 33 this month end and I hate my life cause even now I’m broke

[@BuiltByLinds]

I feel like this society makes us feel old so young if we’re not “ahead” like I’m 21 & I feel behind & old at times… because there’s people younger than me that are more successful at what i do

[@khrissiwalker7281]

Oh and how is possible that…really like you said in a previous vlog I looked at it does give a sense of comfort to know it’s not only me, going thru life’s motions I didn’t do much wrong

[@Redd91ful]

me at 25 knowing my 30s are approaching and I get shooketh. I often think about how my early 20s were swallowed up by quarantine and grief and here I am suddenly “grown”

[@Redd91ful]

and I always comment this on your tiktok but I thought you were in your late 20s and child free😭you still look and are very young🫶✨

[@Daydreamerr13]

Same:(

[@goldengirl7625]

I’m 27 and same, girlie. It’s like anticipating a new milestone is so anxiety filling. I think it’s the fear of having new expectations that gets to me. People have less grace as well get older to. I still feel so unfulfilled in life. Trust me, you can do so much in just the 5 years you have left 💛

[@Redd91ful]

@@goldengirl7625 thank you soo much(: i wish you the best!!

[@AshMoore_111]

This is so interesting. I'm also turning 35 this year and feel very much like I have the things I want and am just working on making my day to day life more like what I want it to be. I agree that being mindful of the content you are consuming definitely helps. Also I think its important to really dive into what are the things you "think you should have" and are those things you actually want or need or is it just more of what society/social media/outside influencers make you think you should have. I came to this realization that I personally am just not into a lot of the "luxury" or all beige everything aesthetic that has become so popular in recent years. We just have to do our own thing and realize that everyone has their own journey and as long as you can find peace in it, it doesn't matter if your life looks like anyone else's. And yes! We are still young! Also your hair came out great ❤

[@jennnoire]

Thank you!💕 I agree! Definitely leaning into more of what I *actually* like versus what’s popular or trending. I love your insight and it’s very much appreciated!🫶🏽

[@primrosegranger2878]

I completely understand how you feel! I’m also 34 and turning 35 this year. One thing that keeps me feeling young is discovering new activities/hobbies. I just started hiking more often, and I love it! One thing I want to release that adds to me feeling old is letting what I THINK others think about me rule my mind. It’s truly exhausting. Cheers to 34 years of life, happiness (and sadness) and being HERE ♥️ we’ve endured, we’ve grown and we have so much life ahead!

[@ThaWatercooler]

Girllll, feel this so much! Will be 33 in a few weeks, in the midst of growing pains from a career change. I be questioning my choices all the time. But in those moments, I try to remember to take deep breaths, trust my gut and God and give myself grace. Anyways, love these deep thought vids. I find them so helpful in getting out of my own head ❤

[@ellenko2684]

You look like youre in your late 20s! Youre only ever as old as you feel. Keep your heart young and hopeful! ❤️

[@jennnoire]

Thank you! 🥰

[@Ms.Britt1822]

When you mentioned being in your 30s and feeling like you ‘should feel more like an adult’ I feel the same way. Like I’m 32 and married that’s an adult. It’s hard to explain lol. 😂But I am enjoying the my 30s more than my 20s for sure! Oh and def hate the guess my age because why?! 😂😂

[@BuiltByLinds]

thissss. I’m only 21 but it’s weirddd I feel so much older but also so much younger 😅 like others would prob assume I’m younger but I also feel like a gma that doesn’t go out & watches shows alone on friday nights but also like idek how to be an adult…

[@jennnoire]

Right! Like I have 2 whole kids lol 💀 I should def feel like an adult by now 😩😂 the guess my age is crazyyy i just don’t understand why they sign up for mean comments!

[@ladieessence]

If you have your health and are alive and well. That is a blessing. You have to stop looking at the glass half empty.

[@Daydreamerr13]

True, I regret that forever now and ruined my life because of a health thing. I wish I never took it for granted.

[@meganmoore2036]

Preeeeach!! I needed this! I’m turning 37 this year and have the same feelings!

[@Daydreamerr13]

Omg I’m 26, but I be feeling this way too cause I’m starting to gray early + an unfortunate health issue rn. I regret not being grateful for my life tbh. I wasted my time being scared of aging and the future, and evrything you said about covid hit. Its bittersweet. I’m tryna take it as it comes cause even though I’m 26, I feel 36… nice to hear people talk about aging in this way.

[@BrittanyBee]

Girlllll! I know exactly how you feel! I’ll be 35 in July and I feel like we aren’t the same adults as our parents at all. Everything you said in this video is spot on. I especially feel it b/c I don’t have any kids and I’m like damn in 5 more years I’ll be 40

[@tamerakennedy6893]

31 and resonate with it all. I feel so sad & scared 😞

[@gabrielle8571]

You are beautiful inside and out, and this video is incredibly relatable. Thank you. 🩵

[@jennnoire]

Thank you🥰🥰

[@Imanixo2]

The grey would look really pretty on you. Aging is a blessing. Let it greyyyyyy girl. Lol ❤❤❤

[@anitamjoli]

35 is young! When you're 50 you will realise how young you were.

[@stegarx]
