“Later on, when I tried to imagine how I might have ruined things, that would occur to me - that I’d so rarely resisted, that I hadn’t made it hard enough for him. Maybe he felt disappointed. Maybe it was like gathering your strength and hurling your body against a door you believe to be locked, and then the door opens easily - it wasn’t locked at at all - and you’re standing looking into the room, trying to remember what it was you thought you wanted.” — “Prep” by Curtis Sittenfeld (via flourhoneymilk) (via dilaudid)

32 Years in the Life of Alison by Jeff Radcliffe -
Wow, this is amazing. It’s really interesting to see the passage of time, but also it’s quite surprising that she’d let her father document her in such depth. I mean, a lot of teenagers can’t even stand to be in the same room as their parents for more than a few minutes. Anyway, I love this; it’s a little scary that 32 years can be condensed into a few snapshots, but the pictures are really lovely.
