Analysis
Messy, Moody, and Real
When I was 15, I vanished from the world for half a semester. No, not in some fantastical Chronicles of Narnia way—though I would’ve preferred that. I was homebound, too sick to go to school. My “classroom” consisted of crackly phone calls with teachers, and my homework was mailed back and forth in fat manila envelopes. (This was before Zoom, before Google Docs—back when connection had to travel slowly, on paper.)
