“And I wondered if a memory is something you have or something you’ve lost.”
— Marion, from the film Another Woman
"Eine Schwalbe allein macht nicht den Sommer"
moving away from your small shitty hometown is just. I hate this place. my best memories were formed here. my worst memories were formed here. I miss the familiarity of it all. the idea of going back makes me feel ill. I miss this specific meal I can get in my hometown. I have been exposed to so much more now that I'm gone. everyone I ever knew was here. the only people I would want to see are the ones who got out. the streets and landmarks are etched into my subconscious. I feel like a stranger when I go back. I refuse to ever live there again. it will always live inside me.
Things are never hopeless. There’s always light in the world, and bounds of happiness you have yet to uncover! And truly, you are not alone. People care deeply for you, even ones you have yet to meet. We’ll make it out of the dark.
