Nathan Go

“You know, the strange thing about going back to the place of one's childhood is not that people change- that's quite natural- but that you expect them somehow to stay the same in the way they treat you. In other words, you expect them to still think of you, where you used to live and walk, the people you interacted with, your habits and your rituals, as if you were still with them. But the ghost you left behind is really the last thing people want to think about. A place may change little, yes, but it changes a great deal in terms of how it remembers you. And so you are surprised every time you realize the ways in which you've been forgotten.”
― Nathan Go, Forgiving Imelda Marcos
