" Tomorrow, I will embody what it means to be aging gracefully. I will be the Perfect Single Guest. I will be Katharine Hepburn (at thirty-three, not eighty) of the wedding. I am going alone. And I am not allowing myself one second of self-deprecation. Not one second. Affirmations and visuals. I am Elizabeth Bennett in Pride and Prejudice. I am Bette Davis in All About Eve. I am anyone, anyone at all, but me, Diana Moore, of brown hair, nine of shoe, and wide of thigh. "
