don't try to put me in the box, i'm an enigma burrito wrapped up in a tortilla of mystery.
the latter is because i often spend a lot of time thinking about my family and perhaps more than usual this week because tomorrow my beloved brother is moving to his new job in chicago. i miss him already. but i'm actually not here to talk about that. that pain i shall continue to stuff down out of sight, repressing it in a completely healthy and normal german way.
the other reason i've been thinking about family recently was triggered by, of course, pop culture.
the twee-ist of all twee movies ever, "frances ha," came out recently and there was an article in entertainment weekly with greta gerwig about it in which she said: "I think when you’re in your late 20's, you realize that friends are not your family. They will go off and have a family of their own. You will go off and find your own family." (this is a direct quote, i actually looked it up to make sure i got it right).
ms. gerwig, i respectfully disagree.
