“I used to assume that adulthood held some secret wisdom, that as we matured, crossing the threshold into the marriage and baby years, we’d magically change into people who craved nothing but a square of dark chocolate, who weren’t intimidated by our taxes, who understood the stock market and mortgage rates and insurance premiums. People who were no longer vulnerable or overwhelmed or afraid. But there’s no such thing as magic, no instantaneous transformation on this side of thirty, only more uncertainty, and shame of that uncertainty.”
