Esperanza Rising
The summer of 2008 was tough on my family. The housing market had just crashed and with my mother being a teacher and my father working in factories here and there during this time, we unfortunately had no safety net to fall into when the floorboards were ripped from underneath us. One weekend we went to the library in the town were we used to live. It was a distant drive but climbing up the hills and through the newer streets to the glorious hall full of books felt like a life changing adventure everytime we made the trek. It took us thirty minutes to get from our doorstep to the automatic sliding doors opening onto grey colored carpet. Typically in libraries the childrens and adult section were seperated by either seperate rooms or even separate floors. This helped provide time for families to safely practice being away from each other and find refuge in a good story; without a worry of having to be someone’s parent or someone’s dutiful child. We could all just be individuals who happened to walk in together at the library.

We watched The Grudge way too young. Top Story - April 2023.
One small moment can change the course of the rest of your life forever; However long that life might be. One step past a raised floor, shoes left behind on the tile by the door that has since shut tightly behind you.
