Jennifer Brown Quotes
I've Been Thinking A Lot About The Word "everything." Whenever Something Horrible Happens, You Hear People Say They "lost Everything." They Lost Their House Or Their Car Or Their Stuff Or Whatever, And To Them It Feels Like Everything. But They Have No Idea What It's Like To Lose Everything. I Thought I Knew, But Now I Realize Even I Haven't Lost Everything, Because I Still Have That Polka-dot Swimsuit In My Memory. I Still Have Those Ice Cream Nights And The Scorpion That Scared Marin And The Barking Bulldogs Sweatshirt And The Robins-egg-blue Nail Polish. Somehow Having Those Things Makes The Other Things Matter Less.
I'm Wondering If It's Even Possible To Lose "everything" Or If You Just Have To Keep Redefining What "everything" Is.
