How do you reconcile time? Some conflicting thoughts:
- Sometimes it seems like time goes so fast--weekends, holidays, college, fun trips..and then suddenly you find yourself reminiscing to a 15-year old how Smashing Pumpkins' "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" was the shiat back in the dizz-ay.
- And look at you like, "UM, no." You know...like you used to give your parents when they'd mention "The Howdy Doody Show" or get that far-off look as they waxed on about The Mamas & The Oedipus Papas.
- Navigating the corporate world in your 20s, however, age discrimination can feel really present and prevalent.
- A lot of that probably depends on the industry you're in. Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook creator? They may snicker at his hoodie and sneaker-wearing, but he signs their checks, so they probably keep that in check.
- Speaking of Facebook and this mid late (agh!) age-limbo, seeing peers' wedding pictures and studio pics of their kids, who keep getting older and older, omg?
- Being married and divorced before 30.
- I could have babysat the newest girls on America's Next Top Model? Twenties. Mid-twenties. Late-twenties. Despite all my rage.
