Musings of the Modern "Middle-Aged"

20-something English graduate, caught between worlds; a middle-aged young adult.

It does not count if you believe in yourself when it’s easy to believe in yourself. It does not count if you believe the world can be a better place when the future looks bright. It does not count if you think you’re going to make it when the finish line is right in front of you. It counts when it’s hard to believe in yourself, when it looks like the world’s going to end and you’ve still got a long way to go. That’s when it counts. That’s when it matters the most.

7 years ago, and I still got a buzz of excitement from seeing an author I'd followed and admired and cheered on since the age of 16 talk to me. Since then I've bought all of her books and even signed hers when we met for her first London book appearance. Congratulations on everything @therealsjmaas 🎉🙌😄
