Ok, I'm throwing this up because the last page doesn't exist yet and keeps telling me so. Of course, this existence of something that does not exist is playing with the distorted physics of Dr. Who and Eureka, which I've been rewatching with my new roommate. On a more somber note: Boo-Yah!

I need some help with terminology. It's not "coming of age" or "midlife crisis" but what do you call it when a life changing event coincides with your 30th birthday?

I dunno. 30 doesn't seem all that old, though. I'm not that old yet! razz I'm just talking about in general. The big Three-Oh. Right after your 10-year high school reunion. It's for waterbaby. Nixie is going through this...metamorphosis from her 20's as a wife to her 30's as an independent woman, discovering all over again who she really is.

I honestly wouldn't know what to call it. xd you'll have to make up a word.

Self-revelation, maybe?

Sakura Rosina 30 isn't old. it's just finely aged... -grumbles under my breath about young whippersnappers these days- But in relation to your question, I'm really not sure either. Self-revelation, maybe? I like the term "self-revelation." It's quite apt. It's like the 3-decade transition. If you think about it, each decade of your life up to this point is a huge transition. Going from a child to a pre-teen around 10 years, from a teen to a legal adult between 18 and 21 years, and then at 30, your body starts slowing down, life catches up to you...as a woman, you realize that you only have about 10 child-bearing years left if you're lucky and you have to make the choice (or reconsider previous choices) between family and career. Really, the next transition stage is going to be mid-to-late 40's or early-to-mid 50's, for a mid-life crisis and/or the first grandkid.

I feel like that's biologically only true for women. men seem to be in their prime from early 20s to almost 40 or even a bit after.

I feel like that's biologically only true for women. men seem to be in their prime from early 20s to almost 40 or even a bit after. I suppose in some sub-cultures, younger people have to grow up faster. In my experience, tho, it doesn't mean they're more mature. There are people with variations of the "Peter Pan" complex that even though they appear to survive and cope in the adult world haven't actually made the transition mentally to adult thinking patterns. Interesting factoid--those who have developed math and logic skills find it easier to stick to budgets, diets, and other systems of delayed gratification, where the more emotional individuals tend towards instant gratification. This sort of logic vs emotional mental programing is easiest furring the teenage years because the frontal lobe (logic center) is developing the most. (Technically, all teens are brain damaged since their brains haven't finished unfolding yet.) So all that math in school that you thought would never apply to daily life? Yeah, it's more than just numbers. smile

Yeah, it's more than just numbers. smile well, what I'm saying is, that these people tend to have to think like adults early on. they have to be responsible for themselves and others; they have to make decisions as a leader, or just as an independent person; they have to work and make money; they have to take care of their loved ones; they have to be the one maintaining their homes. but yeh, I have always been one to acknowledge Mathematics as one of the driving forces behind the scenes of the world. interesting to note that Teenagers are the best equipped to develop those skills. xd keep'em learning young!

Now I feel like reading 9th century Sufi poetry again. This sounds like something Rumi would write in modern times:http://www.deviantart.com/art/Magdalena-391748291

I wanna read that comic now, and I think I should also look into Sufi Poetry.
