The Angelinajoliehollyrobinsonpeete Effect

I am a woman. I am daughter. I am a sister. I am a partner. I am an artist. I am an assistant. I am in love.

There are so many facets to many young women today. We are the generation after the women’s intense movement, but we have brought so much technology and advancement to the work place that it would be a crime to go back to the kitchen and to our aprons. But how do we have it all?

Sometimes when I think about my future I see a vast open horizon ahead of me and it is exciting. Husband, Children, Production Company and Foundation. I am at the brink of my career taking a leap into the open air with no hesitation. But my heart and soul opened up this year and I found love. That lockdown, everlasting, comfortable, passionate love that I can’t seem to remember what bliss was before this. At 25, it seems as though my life is ready to make such a huge change. At 25, it seems I am closer to my directing debut and closer to my wedding day. At 25, I seem to have all the things that will make me great. Yet, at 25 I am having trouble balancing it all. At 25, I can’t seem to make anyone directly effected by my actions happy. At 25, I feel like I am failing.

Could it be that the women like my Mother, Angelina Jolie and Holly Robinson Peete who have full fledge active successful careers, at least four children and their own businesses/foundations are just annomilies. Can I never be that superwoman because she doesn’t exist? Is she as rare as a Mozart, Picasso, Einstein?? Was I too arrogant to think that I too could have it all, including the hot body??
