We're encouraged to dread what is coming ahead.
So many of us ward her off.
And it's like, she knows what's up.
She's got all the answers.

Whenever you watch interviews of women in their 80s, 90s, even 100, and you ask them, what would you have done differently?
It's almost always like, I wish I had not centered my life around a man, or I wish I had done more of what I wanted,
I wish I had misbehaved more.
I wish I had not cared so much what people think.
Unequivocally, those are the answers.
I've never yet heard someone say, I wish I'd been thinner.
I wish I'd had less wrinkles.
I wish I'd been more obedient.
So I really take heed of those words.
And I think we're very lucky to have access to those words and access to these women.
