Is youth really wasted on the young, asks Gina Barreca. And so I give that brave girl credit, and I give the unquestioning nature of her youth credit as well. And the woman I've become doesn't run from a fight, doesn't stop until she's finished, doesn't worry about being overlooked and understands, more importantly than anything else, that she's not the only one who feels this way. When I got older and felt less pressure, I promised myself, I'd sleep in; I'd go to bed early; I'd eat healthier; I'd exercise more; I'd become more temperate and more sanguine. Youth isn't wasted on the young.
