Videogames, too— another world where I’m in control, time folding neatly in my hands. The strategy, the choices, the wins, like a puzzle I can always solve. And fishing with my friends? I feel calm, free, like fish darting beneath the water when I cast my line, watching the horizon stretch wide across our school’s beautiful campus, kissed by the sea.
