“Sometimes I think we get stuck on feeling like we’re not where we’re supposed to be by a certain age.

My friend who has a two and a half year old came to visit me recently. I moved into a condo on my own a couple months ago. And she did a lap of my place and said, “I want your life!” Every time we get together, she wants to go out, she wants to do stuff in the city. It’s kind of an important reminder that, where you're at right now is someone else's daydream. Where you’re at now is totally okay. Comparison is a thief of joy, right?

That is something that I've just been drilling into myself. When you turn 30, you could be faced with not having a life partner, not being anywhere close to having kids, and you have to truly believe you are where you're supposed to be and that everything will figure itself out.

You know, I can fucking write up a million fridge magnets with all the little mantras I tell myself. What's meant for you will never miss you. You are exactly where you're meant to be.

What is it even to feel your age anymore?”
