Reaching Thirty

For the first time upon reaching a particular age, it truely felt different.  For me, it was the realisation of amounting to simply this.  I amount to, and always will be, this.  My dillusions and fantasies faded, and without them, the fun became much more pure.  Pure of thoughts of grandeur, the anxieties to impress and of any need whatsoever to compete, pure to appreciate one's lot and life as it is.  The mind has never been so free, and never had such potential as a result.
