My Diary

I wanted one sentence with no task inside it

Dear Delyara, Almost every exchange in a family home contains a next step. Can you pass this. Did you remember that. What time is that tomorrow. Can you sign this. Where is that. Are we doing this. Do you think maybe. Don’t forget this. While you’re there. Before you go. One more thing. By nine o’clock, I was desperate for one piece of language that simply existed beside me without asking for motion from my body. That sounds small. It felt huge. Because some days I do not feel emotionally starved of conversation. I feel starved of non-demanding conversation. There is a difference, and it matters to me more than I can explain.
