You couldn’t pay me to be in my twenties again. I didn’t know that I was ever going to be successful. I didn’t know if I would be able to ever afford a place to live. I didn’t know if I would take care of my family. These seem like dumb questions when you’re forty-five. But when you’re twenty-three, all these are just a bunch of question marks ahead of you. I can’t live with that anxiety.
