“Old Enough” by Haley Jakobson
I don’t recall who recommended this. But. Thank you.
This gives such a peek into a time every person I know born with a uterus has experienced in some form. Either as the survivor or as the support system.
But it also gives you a peek into what it felt like to be back in college. To start to realize you are no longer the person you were at home. That you’re growing in ways you didn’t know were possible. And that means your friends change too—which is such an incredibly amazing experience to choose your friends not based on proximity, but based on literally everything else. And is such a sad experience because the people who you grew up with, who called you by your childhood name, start to feel like they may not be your forever people.
I could see myself at 19, at 20. I would love to have a conversation with that girl. Just to check in. To tell her it’s going to be a hell of a ride. And also to say, some of those childhood friends evolve with you and some return after their own evolution. So some that you knew at 11, you’ll still know at 47.
This is an A+ for me.
I cannot believe it was a debut. I’ll follow this author and see what comes next.
