Childhood is not a sin. Neither is curiosity. Curiosity just may be the thing that saves us. And creativity! Love this, Eric!

Sometimes I wonder what my actual nun teachers were like as people. Sister Floria was really a hard-ass during 8th grade math, but tbh, I think she might have been pretty cool if I'd known her outside of school, as a more grown up person. I am not sure about Sister Carmel though.

Trapper Keepers were literally the best.

We would’ve had a lot of fun (sinning) together in school. I think about that Marx quote a lot, as it turns out opioids are in fact the opium of the masses now.
