#just found out our absolute favorite coffeeshop in cambridge massachusetts is closing#and almost every other such place we frequented in our many years there is now also gone#(many due to covid but many not)#and while my sisters are still both living in the area so we're back with some frequency#the specific harvard square area that was home for so long is now not at all a focal point#and while i absolutely and deeply miss a lot about those years of our lives#i am today struck with that realization about never being able to go home again#and it's sad and weird and visceral yet superficial?#anyway a consistently excellent egg sandwich on sourdough probably shouldn't be able to inspire this level of feeling years later#but (1) they were really good sandwiches and (2) it's obviously about more than the sandwiches#like just a time in life and a place where it happened#and there was already so much never-going-back even before bébé and even before covid really#friends moving away or out to the suburbs and day to day life shifting and whatever else#but man#the years start coming and they dont stop coming#this is about darwin's ltd. if you're familiar with the neighborhood#but it's also about how time flies and is weird#we're going back for middle sister's baby shower next month so i guess we'll get our final breakfast sandwiches then#but not from the mt. auburn location where i have probably spent the equivalent of weeks of my life at least#is this the real life?
