When I was 29 I wrote an essay for The Cut about aging and beauty. After a few rounds of edits, my editor killed it because I was just too young for it to really work. Super grateful she did. Some young thoughts are best left in your diary.

No. What it comes down to is, if you wanna make it/survive, you have to make yourself indispensable. You have to be able to do 100 things. Can't just be a writer. Have to be a podcaster, a Tik Toker, a blogger. It's just reality. It sucks. It's grinding. It blows. But it's true.
