Some are arguably true, some suspiciously borrowed from memory, some robustly exaggerated, and some entirely made up from the pure delight of imagining, capturing whatever is persisting stubbornly enough that I simply cannot ignore it any longer.\nMore writing, reflections, and audio pieces live at easterellen.com.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/8nX4bGNi_hks-Xl0BtzpJZaBVoyWFP1U1swsbhFtFJU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS82MzJk/ZWMwNDM4YTYzNzNi/NjQ4NDMyOTY0ZGQ4/ZTllYi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
