Dirty Thirty Mixtape: 30 Theme Songs of My 30th Year Living in This World

Posted on by Marya The BeauTraveler

In case you didn’t know, last Monday was my 30th birthday. If you remember that episode of Friends where everybody turned 30, well… I gotta admit that it was only a little stressful.

She had been sick for 20++ years, in fact, if you asked me… I think I remember more of her being sick than when she was fit to get around. Being sick for so long, death was something that she had been waiting for so long.

We saw it coming, but apparently, it’s still difficult when the time arrived. Only one year and a week after Disco’s death.
