Art and Writing by: Sarah Turbin

I had to clean up the bedroom I grew up in this summer, and there were so many things I found that I was sure other people my age had rolling around in their own childhood bedrooms. Most of the stuff I didn't need anymore got thrown away, but almost all of the things I found reminded me of a certain time from when I was a kid. It was fun for me to think about how little items could have so much emotional weight years later, even if I hadn't seen them in a long time.
