Please remember, I am part of that "transitional" generation of women. Told we could "have it all" but raised by women who had migraines, asthma and ulcers because real life told them they couldn't. Without an independent role model, I followed a path of predictability. Getting engaged at 19 was far from unusual. In fact, at 19 I was already a "godmother" and had been "maid of honor" at a totally "non-shot-gun" wedding.
When I went shopping for a wedding dress I'd been told by a friend who was already married, "when you put on THE dress you'll feel the magic". I tried on one dress and said "you're right, this is it". But I didn't feel any magic. I just knew it looked better than the others.
I lied because I didn't want to be "different".
And what is having it all anyway?
