About: Hello, I'm Rachael. 19. Born and raised in Chicago but currently living in Washington, DC attending university. I love words, worn books, the smell of ink and the feel of paper, and any other romantic notion you can associate with literature. I know who I am with fleeting moments of doubt. I am an aberrant teenager, as I feel I am living both with weathered hands but looking through the eyes of a child. Don't be afraid to get to know me.

What if you could control how fast you aged? Spend 20 years as a 19 year old and only 3 months as a 56 year old. Would you do it? Always going forward but never going backwards. It would be living the past, in a way. Living the same year over and over. Living a year in a day.

Would nostalgia be a disease? Would you long for all of the years upon years as a wonderful young adult even more?

How would you live?

You change the locks on your apartment, wash everything

he touched. Even if it means scrubbing the toilet bowl,

the bedsprings, the kitchen floor three times over.

Smash plates one after the other, dump out all the mint tea.

This was actually Harrison Ford improvising. There was supposed to be a long complicated battle where he used the whip to disarm the guy, but Harrison had dysentery and it was hot and he said “Hey Steven can I just shoot him?” and Spielberg liked it so much it went in the movie.

^ one among many epic improvisations by Harrison Ford.  The most notable being “I love you” “I know” when the line was originally “I love you too.”
