Your family goes to a theme park at the last minute because this is what you do, ever since you were little and saving crumpled-up dollar bills from birthday cards, coins found under couch cushions. The rollercoasters let you fly and so you ride until the wind steals your voice, until your cheeks are chapped from all the tears, until the stars replace the sun and fill the night with magic.
maybe one my favorite pieces to date. the details, the emotion, the sense of place. I’ve been playing around more with second-person writing and it’s incredible what it accesses! anyway, I’ve been off insta but have been thinking about you. I hope the start of your 2024 is gentle. 🧡
Agreed! Been thinking about changing this one piece that haunts me into second person because I think it will feel further away, easier for both me and the reader to digest.
We are okay. We are okay. ....I’ll take that one and try it out.

This means so much coming from you. There is something about second-person that feels so intimate to read/write. Wishing you guys a restful ny ✨
