I turned down several men because now that I'm 30, I'm ready to settle down with someone. When I finally found him, he told me, "I can't plan a future with a woman with such an active past." Turning 30 was like someone flipped a switch in my brain. It wasn't with panic, like it is for some, but with a feeling of absolute clarity, almost like the calm after a storm. My twenties had been the storm, a glorious decade of chaos, passport stamps, sunrises on unfamiliar beaches, and goodbyes at train stations. I collected experiences like others collect shoes. I felt I had done my duty, the duty to squeeze every last drop of juice out of youth so I wouldn't reach 40 wondering, "What if...?" Now, with that chapter closed, I was ready for the next project: finding a husband.
