“Leaving [home] was walking away from the side of a grave. The person wasn't there, only the body under the soil. Bodies of people we love die, we leave them. Something of them remains in us, something we have to keep like we would a fossil, a story no one remembers, a Logbook. I knew that a place is just a body, no longer alive without the people that ensoul it, but it still hurt to go.” HomeDeathLossGriefLeaving Book:All the Water in the World Source: All the Water in the World
