"I wish I could say I’m from the woods but that came later." is a very fine first sentence. I smiled.
Painting a picture is one thing. Painting an impression of a mood is another! This does that very well:
"The wildlife living in those woods always seemed to be off, just like the rest of the area. It was whimsical and also the furthest thing from it. "
"The wildlife living in those woods always seemed to be off, just like the rest of the area. It was whimsical and also the furthest thing from it. "
It reminded me of cross-country drives where chain shopping centers all have the same five brands, plunked down in the middle of a place that used to be distinct, if unremarkable. Now they're all just blah.
Fantastic. Hopeful.
"The family I was born into isn’t the one I love and consider home."
"The family I was born into isn’t the one I love and consider home."
This made me laugh. You can FEEL the shout.
"Kansas City is a city! I have to repeat this to my friends from college every time we talk about home."
"Kansas City is a city! I have to repeat this to my friends from college every time we talk about home."
"And that’s when my Mom knew she was in love."
Awwww.
Awwww.
Lovely. A true meditation.
"I fled Windsor early one morning to find something in the “North,” but returned to the South disheartened and spent. My home is now near Kenner."
"I fled Windsor early one morning to find something in the “North,” but returned to the South disheartened and spent. My home is now near Kenner."
I love this sentence.
"Californians love to get their noses in our barbecue."
"Californians love to get their noses in our barbecue."
