![]() ![]() Endless International House Hunters? Check. One of my adaptive behaviors has been to just seek out wholly enjoyable things. 13 months into the pandemic, 13 months into guiding my teen through distance learning, 13 months of having even MORE reasons to worry than I usually do. It has been weeks upon weeks of dogs dying, violent allergy reactions resulting in hives all over my face and eyes, worrying about getting a vaccine (first shot down yesterday!), and being just sick over the state of the world, particularly the state of things here in Minnesota. I’m the kind of human who has to have things done faaaar in advance to even begin to control my relatively uncontrolled anxiety. But if she’s finally got the guy, why can’t she stop thinking about the girl? Lara has everything she ever wanted: a tight-knit group of friends, a job that borders on cool, and Chase, the boy of her literal dreams. A memory that becomes a confusing, disorienting present when Jasmine herself walks through the front doors of the school to see Lara and Chase chatting it up in front of the lockers. A memory of a confusing, romantic, strangely perfect summer spent with a girl named Jasmine. ![]()
