I’m really missing Confest at the moment. I miss spending all of my time with my friends, and I miss us not having to plan days or weeks in advance who we’re going to see or what we’re doing. We were just together all the time, and it didn’t matter what we did because it was fun just being together. I miss not being lonely.
“Inside the snow globe on my father’s desk, there was a penguin wearing a red-and-white-striped scarf. When I was little my father would pull me into his lap and reach for the snow globe. He would turn it over, letting all the snow collect on the top, then quickly invert it. The two of us watched the snow fall gently around the penguin. The penguin was alone in there, I thought, and I worried for him. When I told my father this, he said, ‘Don’t worry Susie; he has a nice life. He’s trapped in a perfect world.”

On Saturday I lay on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere with my best friends and walked through the stars. After that I looked up and we were in a glass dome, with millions of candles flickering just above the surface. God the world is pretty.
