it’s a reflection on how a child might navigate and be impacted by their mother’s depression. how we can only hide the truth from children for so long, how they seek to understand, like we all do. how the lack of connection, of deep and meaningful relationships, makes us feel empty and leaves us in desperate search of something that makes us feel alive. of the way our ghosts never stop haunting us until we confront them, face them head on
