“You won’t do it at the right time. You’ll be late. You’ll be early. You’ll get re-routed. You’ll get delayed. You’ll change your mind. You’ll change your heart. It’s not going to turn out the way you thought it would. It will be better.”

Antonia ordered a bunch of old school Strawberry Shortcake dolls off eBay for Esme for Christmas. They came today, and the moment I picked one up, I could feel the way her plastic shoes would squish between my back teeth as if I were already chewing on them (I didn’t). The combination of that plastic face and scented hair is what my childhood smelled like, and if someone made a pillow that captured that aroma I’d buy one and use it in lieu of lorazepam.
This is how I feel about Rainbow Brite and another old-fashioned fibreglass hard-faced doll. I remember looking at and hugging that doll and thinking how beautiful she was and I vividly remember her smell. I’m turning 29 next month and I still have a blanket. It lives under my pillow and is extraordinarily effective as a comfort when I have a cold and I’m feeling sorry for myself. Or when I’m watching a scary/gory film and I put it over my head and watch through the holes.
