Hi Kimia!

I often find myself not quite missing, but returning to my childhood before I was about 11-12. This time has a sweet rosy color in my memory, although I'm sure it was just as complicated as all periods of life are. I remember being able to read with so much intensity and enjoyment that I wouldn't even hear someone call my name. I suppose that level of focus is inherently attached to innocence, before doubt or criticism clouds the mind, especially a young woman. I return often to these memories in the hopes that I can take with me some of that freedom I once had from them.

Love,

Violet
