A third of my life

Tomorrow I turn 33. Somewhere after 30 I really stopped thinking about the numerical value of my age. It takes real concentration to remember that I am not in fact in my 20's and that I am heading towards mid-30's. Sure, there moments where I question myself and think that I should be somewhere further in my life then where I am at, ie married, kids, and house. Thankfully, just as soon as I start to have a bit of panic attack and feel unaccomplished, my sense of self kicks in and I realize that where I am is perfectly fine. I don't need to be at some arbitrary marker set out by expectations of who I should or shouldn't be. I just am. I guess the one good thing about being 33 is that by this time you have a truer sense of self. Afterall, it is just a number and as cliche as it sounds you are only as young as you feel.
