C’è un abbraccio che dura sempre un secondo di troppo, e sempre un secondo di troppo poco. È l’abbraccio prima di tornare all’aeroporto. Le braccia di tua madre che si stringono un po’ più forte del solito, come se sapessero qualcosa che tu ancora non vuoi sapere. Tu che conti, senza volerlo, quanti abbracci come […]
There’s a particular kind of discomfort that comes when you’re growing — and you can’t quite name it. You’re doing everything right on the outside. You’re showing up, performing, achieving.
