Rachel McRady

That nervous tick that used to hit me mid-conversation seemed to vanish. Suddenly I wasn’t talking at the speed of a Gilmore Girl.

My entire upbringing in the pop culture world centered on wronged women. Carrie Bradshaw didn’t get married till she was in her late ‘40s, and she even had to be jilted first. So at the age of 23 and almost two years into marriage, I can’t help thinking that there’s something wrong with me.
