GIRL.

Not obsessed but at the same time I find myself drawn to all the Croatian references like I knew I would be. I always feel like I’m acquiring intimate knowledge about myself and family when I read books set here. Very specific details about mannerisms, ideologies, ways of being come to light I’ve never seen addressed before. Now I attribute them to place. That, grey pubes, and the intense openness of first love.
