There's not much sadder than women who believed they could have it all, tried to have last-minute children and learned it was biologically too late. There's also the tendency for women to hold out for a Prince Charming who never seems to arrive bearing glass slipper. Many ladies here on FR have related how they realized that in themselves and found their true happiness with flawed but devoted real-life men. They've also said that most women's magazines are merely tools of the "running dogs of feminism", designed to crank up insecurity, justify impossible expectations and sell products.
Thirty just means you're beginning to achieve your potential. Our pop culture puts way too much stock in youthfulness. Packaging means nothing if the contents are poisonous, spoiled, bland or tasteless.
