I hate to admit my age, but here it is: I’m…thirty-something. Okay, that’s not exactly specific, but I will say I’m much nearer 40 than 30. And although time has built in me a lack of regret, I do occasionally view the past with disappointment. It used to be my high school to college years… Read More Anime Agrees: Your Twenties Suck
