about families
My parents have been out of town for the past week, and i've been playing house this whole time, waltzing around staving off loneliness--so far I've been doing alright. But i've developed some interesting habits that feel subconscious in many ways. When I was little my favorite thing to do was play dress up with all my moms old prom dresses and costume jewelry. OHH the shiny glamour and kid dreams! When she's away I have a secret habit of going through her jewelry boxes still and wearing all the wedding rings at one time..2 on this hand, 3 on the other...of all the women in our family. Diamond pins, pearls, letters. I'm just covered in the history of love and failure and family.
I adore it. I think it means I miss them. And I'm not sure if it really makes me feel closer to anybody or anything, but I still do it. I realize it's probably kinda strange. But they had LIVES, you know, before I was born...and they were people. People who we resemble more closely than we ever imagined. I mean, I KNEW this...I just never really appreciated it.
covered in the tokens of history of love.
