I often think about Cheslie's passing and the grave loss her family must feel. She was a beautiful soul.... 💜

I'm a retired psychotherapist and we learned in one of my first classes is that, in general, research showed that the unhappiest age is 30 and the happiest year is 63. Ironically I am now 63 and I'm the happiest with myself! Carl Jung said "Life begins at 40. Up until then it's only practice." Thirty is not old! 😀

But.... Who is setting the expectation for 30 years old? We shouldn't even set them for ourselves because that isn't realistic to how life works. My thing is you should try to focus on your purpose and what fulfills you outside of those things you think you should have at a certain time. I feel for those who feel this pressure though. Love your life. Don't be anxious for anything but be at peace with where you are. ❤

Totally agree every word

[@kankan244]

Such a beautiful soul 💫.. What a great idea for mom to finish her book. Brings tears and makes me sick to my stomach how society places these expectations on women. I pray her family continues to heal. 🙏🏾

[@msrhonda]

And that’s ok, there’s no set time. I’m 56 never been married and have no kids but I live my life with gratitude 🤷🏾‍♀️🙌🏾😎

Such a beautiful woman…may she rest in peace.

Only 18% of Americans make six figures. These expectations for 30 year olds are not realistic.

[@kendracosey]

When I turned 30, I: -Was married to a loving and God-fearing man✅ -had a Masters degree ✅ -was a Home owner ✅ -birthed our 1st child ✅ -had a Multiple 6-figure business ✅ -was working on opening a 2nd location ✅ Had a staff of 11 employees ✅ -purchased my 1st Mercedes ✅ …and guess what… I STILL WASN’T FULFILLED UNTIL I DECIDED TO FULLY SURRENDER MY LIFE TO JESUS. 😭🙌🏽

[@aishasmith7841]

Amen. Because our main focus is what's eternal. Jesus is the only one that can satisfy you. He is our foundation anything else is sinking sand. What we are not Jesus is everything. Thank you for sharing this. I pray for anyone who feels discouraged by a lie from the enemy that Jesus will save their soul and make them out a new creation and give the new life in Him. God bless you sister in Christ 💕

Being 31 with no post secondaey education because I did horrible in school. Have trouble a lot of times following what people communicate with me. Feel as though I must be the dumbest person in the world Not having a driving license, Or have a job that is not mimnium wage. A partner and kids is not even a possibilty anymore. With mental illness a result of all my failures in life makes it even worse. I do try to live every single day with gratitude and be greatful with what I have and keep trying to keep going 😣🤲

[@kelseyhampton983]

Well if it helps you don’t come across that way at all! You don’t sound “dumb.” Try to be kinder to yourself. 31 isn’t old at all, you have plenty of time. It’s never too late to work towards your goals!

[@mimimaryan]

@@kelseyhampton983 Thanks 🙂

[@SelinaRoselynLifestyle]

This is how I feel about turning 20 at the end of the year. I don’t wanna say goodbye to my teenage years

[@jedarglobal3245]

This must be so difficult for April

[@Queen76543]

53 damm❤❤❤

[@bec6384]

This lady is after fame and fortune through her daughter. Sorry, but it’s true.

[@bukikaholmes1172]

Tragically. I’m sure that’s now how she wanted to be known. I don’t think it’s malicious.

[@JungleYT]

*Whoever posted this is CRAP... Interview cut off prematurely - skillful editing? NOT*

[@jessicamarie8299]
