"I am not a nostalgic person. I liked life before these innovations because I knew who mattered. They were the people I spoke to on the telephone every day, tethered to the coiled, slinky lines. Sometimes it was really annoying, like when someone would go on about some boring obsession and you could not hang up except by actually hanging up. If I’d had a choice to text them and be done with it, I would have. That is such an easy way out.
When there is no way out, when the doorjambs and window locks are stuck, we become the people we are meant to be"
Fuck. Yes.
