I Would Like To Remember

I think women my age were punk rockers in their youth, and so it's a struggle not to lose that identity. Age is anathema for anyone, especially those with strong ideas about who they are. As you grow older, you still try to nurture that identity and get new things in to keep the old things going.

It's a good time to be 17 or in your 40s. Not a good time to be in your 20s. But let's not lament anymore.
