we can see everything from here. i would say that there has never been such a beautiful day, but i say that all the time.

aw man yeah this was simply A Book For Me. it’s memory and daughterhood and mythmaking and it’s the way you tell and retell the stories that make you who you are, even when the stories change, even when you change. it’s the people who keep mattering, even when they hurt you, even when you don’t think of them for years, even when they’re gone. “the moral of the story is you don’t remember what happened: what you remember becomes what happened.” i read our town when i was a child, too. i remember.
