Holy shit, I'm 28.
I have not written a book. I have not saved the world. I have not been featured in a glossy magazine. Actually, I have not been featured in any magazines, not even the online variety. I have not owned a dog or had children. I have never been engaged. I do not know the rules of hockey. I lost my lemon square recipe so don't have a signature dish. I still haven't completely lost my childish connection to my mother. I cannot walk on a flat plane or a straight line. I have not finished with getting pimples. I cannot cook a square meal.
Some things I have done..
I have almost burned my apartment down. Twice. I have had a nervous breakdown and ended up in the emergency room twice. I have had breakup sex. I have been propositioned by a famous musician. I have learned to clean my apartment. I have held a wide variety of jobs. I have learned to manipulate people and get what I want. I have gotten my dinner (regularly) from a bakery or an ice cream truck. I have gotten lost at the mall. I have watch my sisters fall in love. I have amassed (and lost and amassed again) a large number of friends. I have learned how to meditate. I have run a marathon.
Sometimes I wonder how my life would have been different if I'd been raised a different way or if I'd made a different decision. Would I have written a book by now or would I be a cab driver in New York? If I had actual follow-through, would I have accomplished more by now? If I thought less, would I have gotten more done?
