One of the spices of life is the arrival of something long anticipated. I have never been big on marking birthdays, but turning thirty feels like it deserves more than the usual last-second gathering of whichever friends didn't have plans when I called. Making some goals and having some expectations for myself gives me a reason to think about turning thirty more often this year, which hopefully will bring some sweetness to that day not so far away.
Why did I make a website about? Because telling people holds me to it.
Inspired by the likes of 35, Alex Honnold, The Birthday Challenge, and others.
