My old life - no amount of getting used to it would have made it right.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I would have liked the old days.
I'd taken three years off to live as a normal person, so this was my first time back into it, and it was kind of shocking, but then it was fun.
I'd retired for about six or seven years. Coming back to the business, I found that I was sort of not quite a has-been, and it wasn't a new career, it was just kind of difficult to crack the nut, so to speak.
Had I been older - maybe 25 or 30 - I would have never tried half the things I did because I would have rationalized everything and never did it.
I think when I became a grandmother my life changed a lot, and I think I changed personally.
My childhood was endless - from eight to 18 felt like hundreds of years.
For a long time, I didn't want to live.
For years I wanted to be older, and now I am.
I would not take for granted that my personal life - because I knew better than anybody - that it was just a life. It was surprisingly an ordinary life.
The older I get, the better I used to be.
