Maybe it’s because my birthday is coming up, but I’ve been thinking about this stuff a lot the past week. I keep thinking that I’m twelve and then remembering that I’m three years older, and realizing that the kids in the grade below me aren’t even twelve. A lot has happened in those three years, so I’m curious what my actual 12-year-old self would think about me now. (I also felt 10 when I was 12, and 8 when I was 10, so really the whole ‘feeling stunted’ thing is a regular occurrence for me.)
To be one of those super old characters that are secretly immortal/ancient (but never actually age that much), that talk in riddles, that are super wise and mysterious, and that disappear when you look away.
Thank you so much!

so well said and incredibly relatable. it's always confusing to me how everyone is convinced that without romantic affection, you cannot love deeply.
peace home & for spring to come
