Wow. Leah this writing is just so… I don’t know… tasty? I mean I can taste the bagels and the ice cream and the sweat and the boredom and your mother’s accent and the petting of the dog. And I love how you carry us along on a lazy yet scenic ride and then hit us up in the end with a question that maybe we don’t ask enough. What’s the point of it all if you’re not enjoying yourself? Brave writing.
I feel it, too, Leah the lagom conundrum — when is doing something at one’s own speed enough?! Love the circularity of this piece — the running, the track, the turning over in your mind, returning again and again to your theme. I can’t remember if I actually met your parents or just saw photos but they stand out! Looking forward to hearing more! ❤️
