i'm 31 and i think i'm the opposite of you. i spent my 20's playing it safe and not taking any risks and i didn't enjoy myself very much. i met my fiance when i was 27 and he's slowly been teaching me the "what's the worst thing that could happen?" philosophy. i'm so much happier now than i've ever been. i think by the time you're 30 you know who you are and what you want. i find that i'm a little less optimistic, but also a little more philosophical about defeats. there's something to be said for experience. i've learned that "this too shall pass" so nothing really gets me down like it used to.
