I Remember The Day I Turned Thirty. I Was Getting Out Of The Shower And I Stood In Front Of The Mirror And Stared At Myself For A Long Time. I Examined Every Inch Of My Body And Appreciated The Fact That I Finally Looked Like A Grown Woman. I Also Assumed That This Was How I Was Going To Look For The Rest Of My Life. The Way I Saw It, I Was Never Going To Age; I'd Just Look Up One Day And Be Old.
