by Halima Nawaz in Soul on 5th May, 2018 “30 places to visit before you’re 30” “30 things to do before you’re 30” “30 books to read before you’re 30” Before I turned 30, like many others, I read these types of articles, mentally checked off what I’d already done and then felt pangs of inadequacy for all I’d still not read, done or achieved.“ But I turn 30 tomorrow and I still haven’t read War and Peace, how dare I live with myself?!” Okay so maybe I didn’t think that the night before my 30th...
