Before Thirty

Working title

What happens when you reach the age your younger self once considered fully grown — and realize you’re still becoming?

I’m approaching thirty and writing about the distance between the woman I thought I would become and the woman I actually became.

I’m writing about my twenties, but also about everything that shaped them — family, confidence, caregiving, school, money, healthcare, ambition, travel, relationships, uncertainty, and the strange experience of realizing adulthood doesn’t arrive all at once.

I don’t know exactly what this will become yet. That’s part of why I’m writing it.
