Agreed. I felt like I'd never meet anyone I was compatible with all throughout my 20's, and spent the last 3 years of them resigned to the fact that I was just going to be alone for the rest of my life.

Then I met someone in my early 30's. It's like we'd known each other our entire lives. Our goals are the same, our values match, we make each other laugh, and it is the first relationship I've ever been in where I can truly be myself without masking in some way. The years have flown by, and we still get excited to see each other at the end of the day.

Everyone just needs time to figure out what they want in life, and that seems to happen for a lot of people in their 30's.
