I want to walk into my house, drop my bags, walk up the steps, and crawl into bed. my own bed.
and stay there for about 18 hours straight.
our lives are awesome, until you live them. and then they're very very disconnected from every reality known to man.
"That's why I had been carrying all around Afghanistan a key ring in the shape of a rubber frog wearing a crown that held my house keys. Despite its absurdity, the frog and those thick long keys reassured me. Their presence in that particular moment seemed the only incontrovertible proof that I did have another life."
(the end of manners, p 173)
