Thirty, Flirty and Barely Surviving.

Based on a true story for most people

By Ashley GilmorePublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Dancing at karaoke only to find that my knees are no longer sturdy.

Still living with roommates in an apartment so dirty.

I used to avoid being with my mom and now she is my best friend.

Is not having a mortgage, kids and student debt the new trend?

These are my hangover thoughts as I slowly remind myself that this is thirty.
