explanation
It occurs me that it's sometimes pretty brutal to have to be a child. Not even exclusively in places like the Congo or the Sudan, where it's literally brutal to be a child, but also in cosy suburban homes that hide a reality that just sits outside and waits for you to grow tall enough to look out the window.
