Quote #10
I wish I was anything but eleven, because I want today to be far away already, far away like a runaway balloon, like a tiny o in the sky, so tiny-tiny you have to close your eyes to see it. (22)
Rachel wants her sadness to be far, far away like the balloon, but just because it's far away doesn't mean it no longer exists. It'll still be there, like all her past ages, even if she has to close her eyes to see it.
