I’m this very weird mix. In some senses, I feel as if I’m 100 years old. In others, I still feel incredibly young, very naive, and as if I haven’t seen much of the world at all. I’ve been incredibly protected, but in other ways I’ve had to be in situations that nobody my age would, to deal with pressure that nobody my age should usually deal with

Finding yourself on a block you’ve walked down hundreds of times, but sometimes you walk down that block and it’s different. The sunlight is hitting the houses a certain way. There’s odd cracks in the sidewalk. It’s 2PM sometime in early July. You feel the weight of the world in one moment and incredible clarity in the next. Your clothes feel different. Suddenly you notice the moon against the hazy, pale blue sky. You also realized you haven’t seen a person or heard a car for over 10 minutes. Where did you go? Are you still here?
