took me exactly 53 trips around the sun to realize that right now I’m as young as I’ll ever be, and as old as I’ve ever been, here in the honeyhole between already and not yet. Amen.

I hear it all the time when people defend unpaid internships, awful entry-level jobs, student debt, etc.
Whatever happened to wanting the next generation to have it better than you did?
