"I have always, essentially,
been waiting. Waiting to become something else, waiting to be that
person I always thought I was on the verge of becoming, waiting for that
life I thought I would have. In my head, I was always one step away. In
high school, I was biding my time until I could become the college
version of myself, the one my mind could see so clearly. In college, the
post-college “adult” person was always looming in front of me, smarter,
stronger, more organized. Then the married person, then the person I’d
become when we have kids. For twenty years, literally, I have waited to
become the thin version of myself, because that’s when life will really
begin. And through all that waiting, here I am. My life is passing, day
by day, and I am waiting for it to start. I am waiting for that time,
that person, that event when my life will finally begin."
