her bedroom.

mom and dad in the world who you are right now,
who you dream of being, or what you're passionate about,
are the posters on the wall. It's all the passions everything.
It's the actors and actresses she likes, it's the musicians,
it's the images. It was literally like going into a
museum of her. Whenever went to a bedroom and certain
posters would come down and I'd never say, oh, you're

not that anymore, and something new would come up and
I'd know more about where she was in her and
what she was assionate about, buy what was on the
contents of our bedroom. Or It's like literally is like
a dank old gave in there with the clothes on
the floor, but the posters have all been taken down
