The small details make this hit hardest, the homemade focaccia, the crickets, and a cigarette that somehow led to a marriage. There’s something beautiful about realizing that an ordinary life can be extraordinary while we’re busy worrying about what comes next.

This was such a true and real read, Hrvoje. I know that’s an odd way to describe it, but that’s how I felt reading it. The short, neat, simple sentences had so much depth to them. And the honesty of your own doubts and feelings was so clear, that, yeah — the piece was so true and real.

I particularly liked the part I restacked :)
