really hit close to home. Every time I come back to my childhood home, something is different. Boxes and miscellaneous items are in there. Then, even if I clean it up, it never feels the same as when I first left it. I feel like I'm intruding in someone else's room even though it's mine.
I think I’ve never read in my entire life words so well written and so well organized.. the feeling that you transpires is unbelievably true and relatable..
Always a way with words! Something that has, too, been on my mind this last month/ month and a half back home. Really goes to show how things change overtime, and will continue to. Appreciate your growth mindset!
This was so beautifully written. As a fellow ex teenage girl who spent hours staring out the window, reading dystopia YA fiction and having an irrational fear of abduction your essay made me tear up. It's strange to think that we've spent so much time in those bedrooms and that they're now a relic of the past.
It's so comforting to know others had the same childhood bedroom experience! mine had an enormous white wardrobe that has never seen the light, always covered in layers of photos, magazines cut-outs, posters. After a trip to Paris I decided to take everything down and paint it with pastel coloured swirls. Goodbye Manson posters! Ahhh The Haunting of Hill House <3 I loved the TV show (which I highly recommend) but I am not sure if I would like the book... halp!
So we all gave our childhood bedrooms adult makeovers in the pandemic huh
