Whether it's your 36th wedding anniversary, your 16th birthday or even your 55th anniversary of establishing that one newspaper — milestones come in all forms — these dates are worth acknowledging.
Say goodbye to the panicked version of me, searching for something I don’t want, and say hello to a girl who has a thing or two to say on joyful employment.
At the end of the day, maybe your passion could simply be creating a life that feels agreeable to you, and that doesn't have to take place in your career.
For those who are wondering what to watch next, there are several other gripping shows like “The White Lotus” that share the same theme of sharp wit, layered storytelling and striking visuals.
