strides
by rantywoman
I’m currently reading and enjoying Andy Cohen’s memoir Most Talkative. It’s interesting to hear about his process of “coming out” as well as funny to see all the bad fashion decisions of his youth and to hear about his mistakes on his first jobs.
One thing that struck me while reading is that he is around 44 today and, I would say, just hitting his stride in terms of becoming the person he was always meant to be and, might I add, becoming a big success while doing so.
Then I felt annoyed all over again that large segments of society consider me “washed up” by this age (and that includes at least a couple of my gay friends).

I think more and more people are finding their success later in life – look at Bethenny Frankle, she couldn’t afford the rent and within three years she had great success with her business, a husband and a baby. You can always find success as long as your still living you just have to find it and it find you.
I like her and her story, although I felt a little sad after she had her baby and said the experience was extra special for women like her because they know how close they came to missing out on it. But I can hear those things now without flinching, thankfully.
