T-Bay Notes

“When I arrived at my parents’ house—the house I grew up in—it was after dark and I carried my luggage directly to my bedroom. I found it nearly the same as it always is—drawers filled and shelves lined with the past: a stuffed animal I called Tigger, an original Nintendo Game Boy, a MuchDance 2000 CD, every diary I kept from 1995 to 2004, a rock collection, a Smucker’s raspberry jam jar containing remnants of an old stash, and a random assortment of books I read between late childhood and early adolescence. Each year it looks more like a set from a film about girls coming of age.”
