Stuff on Tumblr I like/d.
I was recently talking to my editor about how a lot of getting older is realizing that the things you believed when you were younger are true. When you’re 25, the greatest thing in the world is to be published in McSweeney’s. When you’re 30 you want to get paid for your writing—you want to be in the New York Times! Then, when you’re getting closer to 40 like I am, you realize, wait! The greatest thing in the world is to be published in McSweeney’s! That’s the real, funny joy about getting older. Is to realize that those things you believed when you were 20, honest and hopeful and good, a lot of them turn out to be true. stephen elliott / yay!
