"Which is - you know, like check it out, I'm pretty young, I'm only about 40 years old. I still have maybe another four decades of work left in me. And it's exceedingly likely that anything I write from this point forward is going to be judged by the world as the work that came after the freakish success of my last book, right?"

In this quote, Elizabeth Gilbert is reflecting on her age and the prospective impact of her future work. She acknowledges that she is still fairly young at 40 years of ages and has many more years of work ahead of her. However, she also acknowledges that her previous book's unexpected success will likely form how her future work is perceived by the world. She might feel pressure to live up to the high requirements set by her previous book and might be evaluated based on that success. This quote highlights the obstacles and expectations that included attaining great success in one's career.
