“People don’t need to die to disappear. Or to move on from a place, or a people or time. Sometimes it’s the place that does the moving on and we think remaining there will keep it alive. Like not giving in not conceding or admitting defeat. Becoming a holdout. The holdout. It’s only later that we realize a holdout can become a loss if it wasn’t already. I already lost. Home’s moved on.” — Funmi Arije
People don’t need to die to disappear. Or to move on from a place, or a people or time.
Sometimes it’s the place that does the moving on and we think remaining there will keep it alive.
Like not giving in not conceding or admitting defeat. Becoming a holdout. The holdout.
It’s only later that we realize a holdout can become a loss if it wasn’t already.
I already lost. Home’s moved on.
