Age Quote by Michelle Buteau

“The age 38 or anything approaching your 40s, men and women, we're just like, 'Am I gonna stay in this job? Am I gonna stay in this relationship? Am I still gonna be in this neighborhood?' It feels like a crossroads of sorts - like, 'Am I going to try to have children? Am I not?'” quote by Michelle Buteau
