Ever get that feeling that it’s too late to begin?
With three weeks to go before my twenty-eighth birthday, I’m reminded of the person I thought I’d be by now and, turns out, it’s someone who I’ve never even met and whose name, now, escapes me. I was 20 at the time when I learned about her; these were pre-Facebook, pre-Twitter, pre-LinkedIn days, so the information that surfaced on Internet Explorer pointed to text that existed in print first, web second. What I found was the woman’s marriage announcement in the Times that said she was the associate editor at Vanity Fair at 27. Just married. Working at Vanity Fair.
And so that became my measurement of where I wanted to be in seven years.
