    As a kid one of my favourite passages to read was about a girl who saw her twin get ran over by a car and killed. I don’t remember anything else about that book… but I would devour anything sad and traumatic and upsetting. I would absorb those emotions and live those lives, and it would be like a daily catharsis to read something horrifying and cry it out.
