the force

This is inspiring. I’m wavering in my own optimism at the moment, but good for her:

A woman who has realized who she is and what she wants is a force of nature. I’m glad to finally be in that space, unwavering in the life I’ve created for myself, which is a big, beautiful thing that amazes me every day. It was the life I had dreamed of when I stepped into those hallowed halls at the tender age of 18 some 20 years ago. As it evolves, it will continue to bear incredible fruit. Perhaps marriage and children will be among those fruits, perhaps not.
