“Each year only further complicates your understanding of your own life, because each year you are more rooted within London than you are within California, and it is another hard truth to accept, that perhaps this is your life now.”

I really resonated with this piece! You tied in your themes beautifully- the little bit towards the end about a girl turning into a woman was perfect.

Such a gorgeous read 💛

my grandma passed 3 years ago and while the hurt isn’t as intense anymore, i’ve found myself thinking about her a LOT lately, so reading this was bittersweet and made me tear up🤍thank you for your lovely words
